Description Esther Melander 2025-10-14 17:50:07 UTC
The selection of columns for display page for Guided Reports was updated in 25.05, condensing the column selections to drop down boxes. However, when the page loads the columns briefly flash on the screen and then disappear. The screen is left with two blank boxes and some misaligned text for Add or Delete. It is not clear what the user should do next and, in fact, appears like a browser malfunction or bug. It would help to align the selection boxes with the Add/Delete links. And it would help if the selection boxes had a drop down arrow and text that says, "Please make selections..." or something similar.

To Replicate:
1. Go to the Reports Module.
2. Select Guided Reports.
3. Begin the process to build a report. For example, select the Patrons module, click next. Choose tabular and click next for Pick a report type.

Notice as the page loads for Select columns for display, the table selections flash on the screen and then disappear. It would be nice if there was helper text for the user.
