Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

  • Visit a page where you can open a category picker (e.g. payees or rules) directly on a fresh session without visiting the budget page
  • Attempt to type in a category
  • No category picker shows up and it is impossible to select a category
  • Visit the budget page
  • Category picker now shows up

This appears to be because the store, as accessed here, does not have group categories populated. Going to the budget populates the store and fixes the issue.

What error did you receive?

No response

Where are you hosting Actual?

Fly.io

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Firefox

Operating System

Linux

This will be solved by the new useCategories hook that was added here: https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/pull/1382

We just need to make sure it's actually used in all the places where we have categories.
