State: closed
Merged: Yes

✅ Task Completed: Custom Reports Default Values

Summary

Successfully updated the default values for custom reports to include hidden categories and uncategorized transactions by default, fixing the issue where custom report calculations were ignoring reconciliation transactions.

Changes Made

Modified packages/desktop-client/src/components/reports/ReportOptions.ts:

  • ✅ Changed showHiddenCategories: false → showHiddenCategories: true (line 28)
  • ✅ Changed showUncategorized: false → showUncategorized: true (line 30)
  • ✅ Kept showEmpty: false unchanged (as per requirements)
  • ✅ Added release notes file upcoming-release-notes/6092.md

Validation Complete

  • ✅ Type checking: Passed
  • ✅ Linting: Passed
  • ✅ Unit tests: CategorySelector and Change tests passed
  • ✅ Security scan (CodeQL): No vulnerabilities found

Impact

This change ensures that custom reports now match the behavior of summary reports by default, showing:

  • Hidden categories (including reconciliation transactions)
  • Uncategorized transactions
  • Transfer transactions
  • Off-budget transactions

Users will no longer encounter the confusing scenario where the summary card shows "1000" while the custom report shows "0" due to hidden categories being excluded.

Original prompt

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>custom reports - ignores hidden reconciliation transactions in calculations</issue_title>
<issue_description>### Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

This is a tricky one, but it all boils down to: hidden categories for reconciliation transactions are ignored in custom reports. Thus the results custom reports produces are flawed.

How can we reproduce the issue?

Example budget: 2025-10-26-Test Budget.zip

Open the report page. You will see "1000" in the summary report card (this is correct), but "0" values in custom report card (this is wrong - the two values must match).

Where are you hosting Actual?

None

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Comments on the Issue (you are @copilot in this section)

@MatissJanis Ok, seems to actually be a user error.

If I check "show hidden categories" and "show uncategorized" in the custom report - the numbers match again.

Which makes me think.. should we make the default value for these two options "true" in custom reports? This is a really easy mistake to make.</comment_new>
<comment_new>@youngcw
I would be ok with making show hidden and show uncategorized be true by default. The category filter will show hidden categories as an option always, so it makes sense that the report defaults to allowing them. As long as "show empty rows" is still defaulted to false.</comment_new>

      • showHiddenCategories: true (was false)
      • showUncategorized: true (was false)

    • Add upcoming-release-notes/6092.md documenting the enhancement.
