New invoicing - Remove invoice description character limit
Remove New invoicing description Character limit. Currently the limit is 4000 which isn't enough for large customer invoices.

Appreciate the feedback on your needs here and giving detail of the ideal # of characters that'd be useful to your business.
To clarify as it appears there may be some confusion, the 4,000 character limit is per line and based on the characters that can be entered in the 'Description' field of each line within the invoice. This does not apply to the invoice as a whole.
We want to be open that at this time we still do not have any plans for extending this limit, however we will continue to track and review this idea and share if any plans are made.

@Kelly M, in addition to the 4,000 character description limit per line, what other restrictions are you forcing on us when you remove the functional 'classic invoicing'?
Do you have a list of what functionality us users will lose or are we expected to find out for ourselves when things don't work as well as they used to?

This is essential for our business also. This is where we record works carried out, sometimes over multiple weeks or months and therefore can't afford to be limited on characters.
How a 'new' invoicing system can be developed that includes a reduction in features is beyond me.
Often we required 10,000 characters but on occasion have needed up to 30,000.

We also need a much larger character limit due to our invoicing needs. This means larger invoices will need to be split across multiple invoices which is a huge step backwards in functionality. Why was it limited to 4000 characters anyway?

Hi,
We import from an excel monthly spreadsheet some requiring 15,000 characters or more.
