Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

Expectation:

  • Click "add new widget" -> Select already existing custom widget -> Change the widget (content/name) -> There are two different widgets

What happened:

  • Clicked "add new widget"
  • Select already existing custom widget "Testing"
  • Now there are two "Testing" widgets, good so far.

I expect these to be two separate widgets. So rename one

Once I hit enter, both of them are renamed

Easy enough for a user to work around this. However, fixing it would facilitate generating many widgets that are similar by being able to duplicate an existing one (without the two being linked).

How can we reproduce the issue?

  • Create custom report "Test"
  • Add new widget, select "Test"
  • rename or otherwise change one of the widgets
  • both widgets will be changed

Where are you hosting Actual?

If you want to duplicate a custom report you need to open the report and say "save new report" in the menu. The custom reports interactions with the dashboard needs some cleaning up since that existed before the editable dashboard did. Feel free to open a feature request for that.
