Description
When creating or editing a Script Report, selecting “Is Standard = Yes” correctly hides the Query / Script field (as expected), but the Filters and Columns sections are still visible in the Report DocType form.
However, when a report is marked as Standard, Frappe ignores any Filters or Columns defined inside the DocType form — because standard reports must use the script’s return values (columns, data).
So showing the Filter and Column fields in the UI is inconsistent and misleading.
Expected Behavior
- When Is Standard = Yes:
- Hide Query / Script field (already working)
- Also hide Filters section
- Also hide Columns section
- Because Standard Script Reports must define filters and columns directly in Python, not in the DocType form.
Actual Behavior
-
When Is Standard = Yes:
-
Query / Script field is hidden (already working)
-
Filters are still visible
-
Columns are still visible
-
Any Filters or Columns configured here do not work, causing confusion for the developer.
Why this is a Problem
- Developers think Filters or Columns added in the Report DocType will work.
- But Standard Reports ignore them, which leads to:
- Misleading UI
- Confusion
- Incorrect report output
- Wasted debugging time
