Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

I created a custom Pie Chart report to break down the amount spent with a Tag filter. The numbers were definitely wrong, when I realized I had tagged the Top Level of a split transaction instead of tagging each individual line item under the transactions

How can we reproduce the issue?

Create a split transaction in an account and tag the top level of the split with a tag:

  • Test transaction #test-tag = $50
  • Plane Ticket #test-tag = $1000
    --- Ticket = $750
    --- Seat Upgrade = $250

Create a custom report with the filter Has Tag #test-tag

See that the value will be equal to $50 instead of $1050

Now, if you tag each subtransaction of the split transaction with #test-tag, then you will see that the chart is properly calculated

Where are you hosting Actual?

Docker

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Firefox

Operating System

Linux

This is not really a tag related issue I guess, this is how it work with reports, you'd have the same behavior with a filter on "Notes" field for instance.
I tried that too a while ago and someone explained that it was like that by design.

This probably should function like the filtered amounts in the account ledger where parent's amounts are ignored if one of their children are included, but included if only the parent is included.
