What happened?

I used to have a custom report named "Clothes" which I accidentally deleted. I then created a separate duplicate to fix it, tried to call it "Clothes" again, but I get the below errors. I'm guessing the tombstoned reports are being checked for duplicates, as well as active reports?

How can we reproduce the issue?

  1. Create a custom report with any content
  2. Call it "test"
  3. Delete it
  4. Create a separate custom report and call it "test"
  5. The above errors appear

Where are you hosting Actual?

Pikapods

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

As a side point, this name duplicate checking isn't performed when copying a report via the right-click menu. Might be a separate issue, but worth raising

You'll need to delete the report by clicking on the card in the dashboard (you may need to add it back) then clicking the menu at the top right and deleting. Delete from the dashboard page just removes the card, it doesn't delete the report.
