Invoice templates - Prevent past invoices from updating when a template is amended
Amendments to Invoice Templates.
If you make amendment to an Invoice, the amendment should only be applied from the date & time of the amendment & should Not apply the amendment to all your previous Invoices on your records already sent!
Note, currently the only way around this is to create a new template with the amendment.

When working with invoice templates, it’s important to ensure that any amendments made do not retroactively alter previously issued invoices, as this can create inconsistencies in financial records and reporting. Ideally, changes to a template should only apply from the date and time of the update moving forward, preserving the integrity of past invoices that have already been sent or recorded. Since the current workaround is to create a new template whenever modifications are needed, users should adopt this practice to maintain accurate documentation and avoid confusion. Proper version control of invoice templates is essential for businesses to stay organized and compliant, much like how structured platforms such as https://fmappsz.com/ provide users with updated versions while keeping prior data unaffected for a smoother experience.
