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?
