What happened?

I was adding a summary chart with a last month live time range (to have a current vs last month summary in my dashboard)

Expected:

The live time range is saved and stays live

Actual:

The time range switches to static and will not advance to the next month automatically

Additional context:

  • This does work for all the other options: 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, year to date, last year, prior year to date
  • Cash flow and net worth charts are also affected (I assume any chart with the same time range header is)

How can we reproduce the issue?

  1. Go to any dashboard
  2. Create or edit a summary chart
  3. Set the time range to "last month"
  4. Observe the "live" toggle, it should be enabled now:

  5. Save the chart
  6. Observe the "live" toggle again, it is now set to "static" with the last month selected

Where are you hosting Actual?

Docker (Client & Server v26.4.0)

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Chrome

Operating System

Mac OSX

My guess as to why this happens is that, generally, a live range requires the current month to be selected as the end date. The last month option doesn't include the current month so it disabled the live option.

Shouldn't "last year" suffer from the same problem then?
