Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

autofocus not working if user open new task page using url

What is the root cause of that problem?

We are not autoFocusing in initial render

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We should set autoFocus prop in TextInput, like we are doing in other places

App/src/pages/tasks/NewTaskDetailsPage.js

Lines 79 to 83 in d8b1d84

	<TextInput
	ref={(el) => (inputRef.current = el)}
	inputID="taskTitle"
	label={props.translate('newTaskPage.title')}
	/>

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)
