Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

Context:
In the Files screen, selecting the 3 dots on a file shows the options, one of which is Duplicate. That brings up a window allowing the renaming of the new file, and whether you want to "Duplicate for all devices" or only "Duplicate locally".

Expected behavior:
By selecting "Duplicate for all devices", I would expect to have a file that matches the others, with the cloud icon and the message, "Syncing".

What's happening:
Instead, the duplicate file has a documents icon and says, "Local". And when trying to open it, there is an error: "We had an unknown problem opening {name of file specified}."
Even when selecting "Duplicate locally", the file that is created provides the same error.

Server:
Proxmox Helper Script

Client:
Chrome and Edge browsers are having the issue.
The Windows application is not.

How can we reproduce the issue?

From Chrome or Edge, attempt to duplicate a file for all devices and then try to access it.
Also, attempt to duplicate a file for only locally and see if it can be accessed afterwards.

Where are you hosting Actual?

Other

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Microsoft Edge, Chrome

Operating System

Windows 11

This is happening to me when I try open it on pikapods using chrome. But it will open when I use Edge. Seems to be version 25.3.1

Im not able to replicate this on either chrome, firefox, or the desktop app. If the issue persists on the latest version please open a new ticket.
