Issues still showing on sonarcloud after adding exclusions

Here is my sonar-project.properties:

sonar.projectKey=techiteasydev_web_api
sonar.organization=techiteasydev
sonar.python.version=3.10

# This is the name and version displayed in the SonarCloud UI.
#sonar.projectName=web_api
#sonar.projectVersion=1.0


# Path is relative to the sonar-project.properties file. Replace "\" by "/" on Windows.
sonar.sources=src/
sonar.exclusions=frontend/static/assets/compressed/**/*,**/fonts/**/*,**/tests/**/*

# Encoding of the source code. Default is default system encoding
#sonar.sourceEncoding=UTF-8

You can see the exclusions sections.

After adding those exclusions, issues created prior to having the exclusions in place are still showing in Sonarcloud. Does it mean that the exclusions are only effective going forward but do not affect existing issues?

Hey there.

What do you see the analysis logs about exclusions? You can find instructions for finding the logs here.
