New Invoicing - Edit item code without changing Description, qty or price
When copying an invoice, we need to be able to copy and paste in the item code without it deleting all of the description, qty and cost.
You can do this in classic invoicing, but when you do it in the updated invoicing it removes all the data on the line.

Hi Xero,
I’m experiencing an issue when adding Item Codes to draft invoices. When I enter an Item Code, Xero automatically overwrites the existing Description field with the saved item details. However, in my workflow, I often need to enter a custom description first and then add the Item Code without losing my original text.
Currently, even if I edit the item in Products and Services and leave the Description field blank, Xero still replaces my custom description with an empty field. I have tried manually entering the Item Code, but it either auto-fills or deletes the text I’ve typed.
Is there a way to add an Item Code to an invoice without overwriting the existing Description? If not, could this be considered for future development as a setting or option?
