XPH - Bulk address change from Client group
In the old XPM we could bulk update client addresses for a client group, this functionality appears to have dropped off the new version, can we have it back please?
219 votesHi everyone, we appreciate the feedback we've received on this change and while this was an intentional change this is something our product teams are monitoring feedback of very closely and considering improvements around in the new clients experience.
While we can't make any commitments atm I will be certain to share any plans with you all here.

XPH | Client list - Match partial or similar name in search
When you search for a client with client name, old xpm it used to search for anyone with similar name, now it has to be exact eg John James Jones, if you searched John Jones, it would come up, now it won't and you have to type John James Jones for it to appear. If you type John it will come up but what happens when you have 50 Johns to scroll through??? Please fix.
48 votesThanks for feeding back on the Client search, Carey. The way that search works for the new client list experience is a little different to the older experience, and partial matching is not a feature with this new search.
While it's not in our roadmap atm, our team are keen to stay close the support this idea receives and will consider in future planning. I'll share if there are any updates here.

Clients – Improve XPM client edit screen (whitespace & layout)
The new client information page has too much white space but the layout with the headings bigger and the line helping you to track from the heading to the actual data is OK. However when you click 'edit details' that all changes.
• the 'old' version only showed the headings and you could expand each heading to find the places you wanted to update. Much easier to scroll through.
• The new layout has too much white space, there is no clear difference between the headings and the titles – too much wasted time scrolling up and down trying to…

Xero Partner Hub - Retain Visibility of Blank Tax/IRD Number Field in Client view
If the IRD number is not populated then this field disappears from the information screen when viewing a client's details. Can the field please remain on the screen even if left empty.
8 votesHi Sue, we appreciate you suggesting that the Tax/IRD Number field remain visible, even when blank - it’s a helpful idea for tracking data completeness and maintaining consistency in client records.
We’ve moved your idea to Gaining Support, so it’s now open for the community to vote and comment. Our product team is keeping a close eye on feedback coming through related to Xero Partner Hub.
We’d love to hear more from you and other community members about how this change could improve your workflow or benefit your practice. Sharing specific examples will help the team understand the value of this idea.
Thanks for getting the conversation started!

XPM - Suggestion for improvement: Simplify GST registration removal workflow
In the old XPM when removing a client’s GST registration you could delete the GST registration with one tick and save. In the new XPM when you untick ‘include GST information’, the GST information greys out and it lets you save but this does not remove the GST registration information. You have to clear the other fields first, then untick ‘include GST information’ and save. Why can’t you just untick ‘include GST information’ and it be removed from view on the client information screen? Or at least be given a warning that the change you’ve made isn’t correct when you…
5 votesHi there!
Thanks for sharing this detailed feedback about the GST workflow in XPM.
I can certainly see how the extra steps of clearing fields manually feel like a step backward from the previous experience, especially when you're managing multiple client updates.
Currently, the new XPM interface requires those fields to be emptied before the section can be fully "deactivated" from the client summary. If you find the information is still showing after you've unticked the box, it’s usually because those greyed-out fields still contain data that Xero is trying to preserve.
I’ve moved your post into Gaining Support under the title: XPM - Suggestion for improvement: Simplify GST registration removal workflow
By moving this here, other XPM users can vote on the idea, which helps our product teams prioritize making this workflow more intuitive—like adding a warning or an auto-clear function when the box is unticked.

Salutation missing?
Where has the Salutation field gone?
It used to be available in Client Details and Additional Contacts and was used across multiple templates, including invoicing and merge-based applications. With this field removed, client correspondence is now appearing blank where the greeting should be.
Using [ContactName] or [FirstName] is not a workable substitute:
• For some primary contacts, it returns no name at all
• In other cases, it defaults to the full name (for example, “Hello John Peter Smith”), which is not appropriate for client correspondence
Please reinstate the Salutation field.
If that is not possible, at a minimum please…3 votesHi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team. We'll be in touch soon to update you once your idea has been reviewed.

TFN Search Function
Prior to the most recent update we were able to search using a clients TFN.
Can we please get this function back?It is so useful for Admin when we are getting lodgement lists from the ATO and we are having to search a number of different clients. It is simpler to search the TFN, rather than the exact name. ie ATO lists as "The Trustee for....." but we have it in our system as the Trust name, rather than the "The Trustee for...."

clients as an additional contact
Has the ability to attach clients in the additional contact field in XPM been removed. I am no longer able to select an existing client to add to the additional contact on another clients record in XPM. If so why, this was great.

Xero Tax NZ - Company Annual Returns Date
The company annual returns field is showing December and January as options to select. Annual returns are only filed with the companies office from February to November so December and January should not appear in this list.

New fields
We have found that there are some new fields in the updated XPM e.g. date of death, place of birth. This is great as we previously had created our own fields to enter this information. However, these new fields are not available in reports. Can these, and all new fields please be added to the select field options. If you want us to use them they need to be reportable. Thank you.

Contact / "Individual" clients
All individual Clients created should automatically be added as a contact and that contact should by linked to the client record. If you change the client detail that "new" contact that is linked should be auto updated. (in short an individual customer/contact is not "duplicated"). If you send mails from a job you can then use that client automaticly as a contact and do not have to create a contact

Client Reference Code showing as option in Column options under Client Main Screen
It would be great if you could have the Client Reference Code showing as a Column option when sorting / filtering clients in the main screen of XPM.
ALSO it would be great if this ACTUAL field showed when viewing a clients details as opposed to having to EDIT a client to see it??
I know there is an Export Code option but why have both when could just make the Client Reference Code visable on a clients detailed page.

Simplify client profile addresses
When the client contact details have been imported in this change (specifically businesses or entities), it has brought in every client address, now on some client profiles, it shows 4 of the same street address and 4 of the same postal address. Could this return to show only one of each to reduce the repetition and confusion.

Client Menu Bar
Please reinstate the summary toolbar or menu at the top of client pages. It previously acted as an effective dashboard for client activity and allowed us to see what was happening at a glance.
In XPH, key items (for example, active tax returns) no longer clearly show status or progress, which forces users to click through multiple screens just to understand what is going on.
Overall, XPH feels clunky and significantly more admin intensive. It feels like a system that previously worked has been pulled apart by developers with little regard for how accounting practices actually operate or for the…

Practice Tools - Display Client Code in the Client record header
Previously the Client Code showed in the address bar (i.e. 8 digit number unique to the client). We could then add the number to the Client Code field under each client. This number is used to sync the client to external apps integrated with XPM (i.e. FYI Docs) This has now gone! The address has changed. How do we find the client code when setting up a new client now to enable accurate syncing??
1 voteHi there,
Thank you for raising this!
With the recent updates to the interface and URL structures, that "shortcut" isn't as visible as it used to be. I’ve assessed your suggestion and moved it to Gaining Support.
It’s a great piece of feedback because it highlights how a small UI change can have a big impact on your workflow with integrated apps.
I’ve also updated the title to Practice Tools - Display Client Code in the Client record header to help other practice users find and vote for it.
A quick tip for now: While it's not as fast as the address bar, you can still find and edit that code by clicking Edit Details within the client record.
Alternatively, if you need to find these in bulk for several new clients, running a Client Report and including the 'Client Code' column is currently the most reliable way to…
