New Quote - Create blank lines in Quote
Since the new quote format was launched, we are no longer to insert a blank line in our quotes at the beginning of a new item. Previously, this allowed us to space out the quote a little so it didnt look too jumbled and allowed us to space the quote neatly over two pages instead of just having a line of a quote on the second page if it didnt all quite fit on the first. Please put it back to how it was and allow us to insert blank lines at the beggining of an item.

Hi all, upon revisiting here we'll re-open this idea.
As you may have found - While possible to add a new line and drag & drop this to where you'd like it to sit in a quote. Once saved, blank lines that have no data in any field will disappear and lines with detail will condense.
Apologies for the earlier misunderstanding and we appreciate those who've feedback on the idea here too.
There aren't any direct plans for changing this behaviour for now. We have a keen eye on the interest here so please add your support through votes and importance.
For the time being, if you'd like to add a blank line in your quote you'll need to enter a character in the description field of the line - This could just be a hyphen or full stop

Yes Xero should let you do this, but there is a workaround.
Add one of the following alternative unicode space characters to the description and Xero won't delete it - you can copy paste the character from the URLs below, save it as an item in "Products and Services" with a description like "spacer" for quick reuse:
To get a narrow spacer line:

I would love to be able to add a blank line, makes sections much clearer and helps simplify information for our clients.

Without this feature the invoice section is un-usable for my company, moving forward it will be a determining factor if we keep using

Not able to insert row or spacing into quotations and invoice to separate per item. Quotations and Invoices now looks very ugly without spacing per line items.

Allow adding empty row of space within the entry fields for a cleaner and better formatting of the quotes instead of it being filled with rows of information without proper organisation/grouping which makes it messy and difficult to read.
