Hey gang – a new customer brought something to my attention today that I totally missed up until now. There’s a major disconnect between Estimate/Project Tasks and Invoice Line Items – especially on the description field.

Take a look at the following image

Has this bothered anyone else? I’m strongly considering mirroring the title / description paradigm for Invoice Line Items.

Yes, that would make more sense. T

Yes, that would allow more detail in describing flat fee items as well—for example, if I’m charging for several printed items and want to differentiate them in the invoice.

Fixed & live…

PS: If you had already customized your invoice template and want descriptions to show up – you’ll need to add this bit of text:

{% if item.description != empty %}
  <br/>
  <span class="info">
  {{ item.description | format_text }}
  </span>
{% endif %}

...Or something similar.
