Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

When setting up a tag, for example "#Test", and then applying the same tag in a note, but not respecting the original capital letters, for example "#test", Actual treats them both as separate unique tags.

I would expect Actual to treat all tags as the same, despite any differences in capital letters.

How can we reproduce the issue?

Create a new tag with a capital letter (camel case, title case, all caps, etc...)
e.g. #TEST

Add that same tag to a note, but only use lower case letters, or capitals that are different in the main tag.
e.g. #test

Where are you hosting Actual?

Locally via Yarn

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Firefox

Operating System

Windows 11

Correct. Tags are case sensitive
