Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

I have two categories named "Food", one in group "Usual expenses" and one in group "Vacation". When creating a line graph report containing the Usual expenses food, it shows as zero every week, even though clicking on a node shows existing nonzero transactions.

Interestingly, when adding both Food categories, both of the graphs match the latter Vacation Food category, which shows up correctly.

Renaming Vacation Food to Food1 fixes the graphs and they behave as expected, and renaming it back to Food breaks it again.

Image

How can we reproduce the issue?

Create two categories with the same name in different groups, and create a weekly line graph with only one of the categories.

Where are you hosting Actual?

I'd like to work on this issue. I'll investigate the related issue #3476 and look into how the reports are aggregating categories by name instead of by unique ID.
