Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/issues/4004

Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

My environment:

  1. SimpleFIN for bank sync
  2. nothing manually imported
  3. server self hosted on Home Assistant OS on my Raspbery pi, using Home Assistant Add-on Current version: 24.12.0-alpine
  4. client access from Windows Application from my Windows 10 machine in same local network
  5. stable version

How can we reproduce the issue?

Side panel > More > Payees > click "Create rule" of any one of the payee
change condition match from "payee" to "imported payee"
change condition to "contains"

Error would pop up here. seems to mess up the whole system so I need to restart the server

the same error seems not pop up if I go to More > Rules and do the same thing. so it only happens from payee?

Where are you hosting Actual?

Other

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Desktop App (Electron)

Operating System

Windows 10

Confirming that I'm seeing the same issue on Electron on Mac

Console log shows:

And then a restart is required to get things back to normal. Just refreshing the page is insufficient - it gets stuck on "Loading global preferences".

A workaround is to first select "imported payee one of", provide a value, and then select "contains". This will ensure the contains value isn't empty, which is what triggers the error.

I believe this is fixed now, I can no longer replicate on edge
