Appearance

Element search returns nothing for an obvious concept ​

You're trying to find an ACRA element (e.g. IncomeTaxExpense) using the Mappings element-search box, and the dropdown shows zero results.

What this means ​

The search is filtered by entry point + statement section by default. The element exists in the taxonomy but doesn't match the current filter.

Causes ​

  1. Statement-section filter is wrong. You're searching from a line item flagged balance_sheet, but the target element (e.g. an income-statement element) is in a different section. Either clear the section filter or fix the line item's statement field.
  2. Entry-point filter is over-restrictive. Some elements are common across entry points; some are exclusive to FULL_XBRL. If your filing is SIMPLIFIED_XBRL the search will hide full-only elements.
  3. You typed an elementId that doesn't exist in the pinned taxonomyVersion. ACRA element IDs use sg-as_, sg-dei_, sg-bp_, sg-fs_ prefixes; verify yours is correct.
  4. The pinned taxonomyVersion is the wrong one for the period (e.g. filing pinned to acra_2026_v1 but the period predates that taxonomy's effective date).

Diagnose ​

bash
# Verify the element exists in the constitution
grep -n '"sg-as_IncomeTaxExpense"' packages/xbrl/constitution/taxonomy_acra_2026_v1.json

Or via Node REPL:

bash
node --experimental-repl-await
js
const xbrl = await import('@breezycorp/xbrl');
const lookup = new xbrl.TaxonomyLookup('acra_2026_v1');
lookup.byElementId('sg-as_IncomeTaxExpense');
// → element object or undefined

Fix ​

  • Clear the statement-section filter on the search box; search the whole taxonomy.
  • Clear the entry-point filter; pick the right element; the filing's entry point will still be the pinned one (but you can verify the element is applicable_entry_points-valid for that pin).
  • If the element genuinely doesn't exist in the pinned version, you may need to file against a newer taxonomy version — but that requires creating a new filing (pinned version is immutable).
