I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.
I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.
I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.
import pandas as pd
print(pd.__version__)
df = pd.DataFrame(data=[], columns=['col_1', 'col_2', 'col_3', 'col_4']).set_index(['col_1', 'col_2'])
res = df.groupby(['col_1']).fillna('')
print(res.index.names)
df = pd.DataFrame([['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']], columns=['col_1', 'col_2', 'col_3', 'col_4']).set_index(['col_1', 'col_2'])
res = df.groupby(['col_1']).fillna('')
print(res.index.names) Issue Description
When doing a group by / fillna on a key belonging to a row index, the schema should be identical before and after. When the dataframe is empty, the non group key of the index is lost (col_2 in the example above).
This seems somewhat similar to #47672 but takes a different code path.
I will have a look at making a PR
Expected BehaviorThe schema before and after a groupby / fillna should be identical.
