Create Charge

What's improved in this prototype

• 1 Guided stepper — breaks form into logical sections to reduce errors and cognitive load
• 2 Amount mismatch detection — real-time comparison flags discrepancies before submission
• 3 Drag-and-drop evidence upload — supports multiple files with preview
• 4 Inline field guidance — tooltip hints on confusing fields (hover the ? icons)
• 5 Review & confirm step — summary view before final submission prevents costly mistakes
• 6 Visibility & notification toggles — clearer controls with descriptions instead of bare checkboxes
• 7 Auto-populated due date — defaults to 30 days from notice date, editable
• 8 Customer-specific categories — category & subcategory options auto-filter based on selected customer (e.g., FirstKey Homes sees only Dues and Fees & Fines) needs backend
• 9 Auto-populated notes — notes field pre-fills with the required template format based on category/subcategory selection, operators edit from there
• 10 Payment schedule auto-fill — recurring charges on file for this property auto-fill the charge amount when selected needs backend
• 11 Send notification toggle — operator can choose to email the customer when the charge is created needs backend
• 12 BTR community warning — surfaces the is_build_to_rent flag (already in backend) prominently when HOA is BTR
• 13 Duplicate charge detection — warns before submitting if a matching charge exists within 3 days (mirrors existing GET /charge/check_duplicates/)
• 14 Violation Fine confirmation — prompts if Violation Fine is selected without a linked violation (matches validation in create.tsx)
