Would still need to consider an optional trigger here as different businesses process projects in different ways.
Appreciate the efficiency play and while this isn't something we have plans for atm, we'll track the interest of this here.

Hi everyone, while our team considered solutions in this space with other pieces of work planned there is no current development planned for adding a notes or description field within Projects at this time.
For now, as you may be aware you can add notes to the History and notes of the individual transactions within a project, or alternatively on the Contacts record.
We're continuing to watch this space and will share if there is any progress.

I would go further and date stamp notes so you can have multiple notes against a project. As there may be multiple conversations held between an initial quotation and approval to proceed, this would help any subsequent team members understanding the history of conversations made with client prior to approval. Also helps with tracking when follow-ups with a client were held.

This is essential for any project based company that receives funds via credit card or PayPal (effectively anyone who deal B2C). I am amazed this hasn't been completed yet as effectively you cannot check profitability of a project if you cannot allocate funds received to a project. how can you make an effective business decision if you have incomplete data

Hi community, we want to provide an update and let you know we are reviewing these ideas and have a close eye on the support this idea continues to receive.
We understand that for some businesses, a quote’s title and summary are important details that should carry through to an invoice, and appreciate that automating this would improve consistency and reduce manual re-entry.
Right now, Title and Summary aren’t available fields on Xero invoices - Supporting this would first require those fields to be added to invoices, before they could flow through automatically from quotes. From there, the change also needs to be considered across a number of surfaces, such as web, mobile, imports, exports, emails, and more.
To be transparent, this work isn’t currently on our roadmap.
For now, we recommend manually copying these fields from a quote into the description field on a new line within the invoice.

Really appreciate those who’ve taken the time to share how this’d help in your day-to-day. We know being able to filter a Profit & Loss report by project would make it easier to understand how your jobs are performing.
Right now, the best workaround is to export your data and make adjustments for this in Excel, but we get that it adds extra steps.
There’s also the Profitability dashboard feature in Xero Projects, which gives a quick view of how each job is tracking, and may be helpful.
We’ll keep an active eye on the interest this idea continues to build through votes, but do want to be transparent that this is not in our roadmap for the foreseeable future. Thanks again for your input through Xero product ideas.

When creating an invoice from a project, it would be ideal to have the option to close the project when creating the invoice from tasks and expenses. We currently have the option to tick box to mark the project as closed when creating an invoice for the project amount, but not when creating an invoice from tasks and expenses.
Suggest either adding the ability to transfer tasks and expenses over to the invoice when creating from a project amount invoice or alternatively a checkbox for a task and expenses invoice to have the option to close the project as well.
