Invoicing - Longer Reference field
It would be better is the invoice reference could allow for input of longer names, without scrolling, so it's all on one line on the invoice.
Currently, the invoice number character length and the invoice reference character length are the same, which seems odd, as usually the invoice number is just a few characters, but the invoice reference can be long (project name, case name etc)

New Invoicing has introduced a 255 character limit on the invoice reference. I have been forced to have references longer than this so I can search for an invoice by serial number (as there is no practical way to search for an invoice by Description).
This is a degrade in functionality, as the Classic invoicing did not have this limitation.
I do not know how I can continue to use Xero once we are forced to the new invoicing, as my invoices are updated *mostly* by the API. When I have to edit an invoice, what is going to happen to my reference which is longer than 255 characters?
