Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

The reports view contains a few default widgets such as cash flow. The default view is to display income and expenses of the last three months. When clicking on the widget, the user can change the time range and "Save widget". When returning to the reports view, the initial three month cash flow layout remains, this is very counterintuitive. The result of saving is that next time, when clicking on the widget from the reports view, the previously selected time-frame is returned to. This is not very useful as setting it again is a single click.

I assume that the cash flow graph can be recreated wit new custom report. Yet, I would find it sensible and a better user experience if saving did what it intuitively does also for the reports view on default widgets.

Initially:

Click on widget and change it, then save:

After saving we still have:

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

No response

Teaching and learning

Documentation wouldn't be necessary as the change is minimal and, in my opinion, more intuitive than the current behavior.

Likely this is a bug not a feature request, as in the case of the "Monthly Spending" widget, saving does change the appearance in the reports view.
