    Hi team, thanks for sharing detail of the value in this idea in the ways you invoice.

    We've just released a new line item grid in invoicing which includes the ability to manually add blank rows and shift these to where you're like them placed in your invoice.

    That said, I want to be transparent in how this works - When you save your invoice any blank lines will be removed. So, if you'd like blank lines to help break your invoice into sections, you'll need to enter a character in the Description field of the blank line. Even a full stop '.' or dash '-' would suffice.

    I think it's useful to be able to do this since it helps to provide clarity when making more complex invoices. One can get round this problem by simply including a full point on a blank line but it would be better if the software didn't freeze and force you to abort an invoice if you forget to do that. This looks to be a basic oversight when coding the new version i can't imagine why you'd stop users being able to do this.
