What happened?

When a custom report has a conditions/filter set (e.g. Notes contains #groceries), the filter is applied correctly in graph views (AreaGraph, etc.) but is silently ignored when switching to the data table view. The last-used view mode also persists, so subsequent opens of the same report from a dashboard card open in data table mode with no filter applied.

  • Expected: conditions apply in all view modes (graph and data table)
  • Actual: conditions apply only in graph view; data table shows all transactions regardless of saved conditions

Screenshots below show the difference (AreaGraph filtered vs data table unfiltered).

How can we reproduce the issue?

  1. Create a custom report — e.g. Name: "Groceries", Graph: AreaGraph, add filter Notes → contains → #groceries
  2. Save. Verify the AreaGraph chart shows only #groceries-tagged data ✓
  3. Click the data table icon (⊞) to switch to table view
  4. Observe: the table shows all transactions — the contains condition is not applied ✗
  5. Navigate away (e.g. go to Budget, then back to Reports)
  6. Click the same report card — it reopens in data table mode with no filter applied ✗

Additional finding: the hasTags operator is listed in @actual-app/api's disallowedOps for custom report conditions, causing those conditions to be silently discarded entirely. We worked around this by using contains instead — but contains still fails in the data table view. This suggests condition handling may be implemented per-renderer rather than at the data layer.

@alecbakholdin commented on GitHub (Apr 28, 2026):

I think this is even more general than described. A few of things of note:

  1. Any filter, e.g. Account is <acc>, Reconciled is true, Transfer is false will reproduce this.
  2. If multiple filters are defined, they will all disappear
  3. Area graph/data table is not relevant. Switching graph views of any kind can reproduce.

Some more general steps to reproduce:

  1. Save a custom report with a filter
  2. Go to edit that report
  3. Switch views (e.g. area graph => donut, data table => bar graph)
  4. "Update Report"
  5. Refresh the page

You will see all your filters defined in step disappear, also the report shows (modified) in the top right.

These steps are are like 95% consistent, sometimes they don't work...
