WTH does Home Assistant keep resetting my sidebar to defaults?

Month of "What the heck?!"
1

I have lost count of the number of times I’ve had to edit the sidebar to remove Energy (I don’t have any sensors that provide that info), Todos (I use OmniFocus) and Media (I don’t use HA to control media). After reordering what’s left, it’s a lot of fiddling.

So it’s particularly annoying to find that something has caused HA to reset to defaults, both when running as a Vivaldi PWA on my Mac and when running the iOS app on my iPhone.

Does this really have to be stored in such a brittle location? Could I not go in to my profile and at least set what the defaults should be, so if I set up a new device, or my current one loses its customisations, HA will use my defaults rather than someone else’s?

I believe all of these WTHs are being merged into this one: WTH Set dark theme as default on web browser

EDIT: Or maybe this one: WTH are sidebar configurations not stored at the server level?

check out custom-sidebar and be done with it

it’s not core, I know, but at least it is reliable…
