Groups in Graph View do not sync on multiple devices nor stay saved

I wanted to work in my vault on phone as well as on laptop.
Now everything Syncs perfectly, except the groups that I’ve made in Graph View.

I created a few groups with tags/colours on my phone to easily differentiate the notes/nodes, but it does not synchronise to the laptop version.

If I create the same groups on the laptop, they disappear on my phone, and vice versa.

I’ve tried several things already, but I cannot seem to find the solution.

  • I’ve followed to Troubleshooting Guide
  • Both devices run Version 1.12.7
  • Everything in sync mode is enabled
  • I use Restricted mode (no community plugins)
  • The files graph.json or workspace.json seem to not synchronise/update the colourgroups

The groups kept working on my phone, but as soon as I relaunched the vault via Manage Vaults, the groups were removed again. Same thing happens when I test this on my laptop.

I am not sure if this is an actual bug, or that this is something that just simply does not synchronise, but it sure is driving me crazy, haha.

  1. Can you please show the “Show debug info” from both of the devices? (I’ve moved your post to Help for now, because that information is necessary for a Bug Report. That info also tells us what OS you are using, for instance.)
  2. Are you storing your vault in any other 3rd party sync tool (iCloud, OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.)? Are you sure?
  3. If you go inside your hidden .obsidian folder, do you notice any conflicted/duplicate copies of workspace.json or any other settings files?
