Thanks for continuing to share your feedback on new invoicing and your needs in increasing the description field. As mentioned in my last update, currently each line of your invoice can contain up to 4,000 characters within the 'Description' field.
Though we don’t have immediate plans for extending this, our product teams have started some more research to get a deepened sense of our invoicing users for future improvements. If you'd like to share further feedback we'd love to hear from you, through our survey here.

In response to Jett Benson, what other functionality will users lose? The reference field for an invoice has been reduced to 255 characters. This is going to cause me a lot of grief when forced to move to New Invoicing as I have been forced to put id information in the reference field because it's not practical to search and find an invoice by text in the description.

Appreciate the interest in being able to search by description. While we're attentive to your feedback, I want to be open that we don't have any immediate plans for developing this atm.
We're staying close to feedback on how we can improve navigation for our customers when using Xero, and I'll let you know if there is any development planned surrounding this, here. Thanks

New Invoicing has introduced a 255 character limit on the invoice reference. I have been forced to have references longer than this so I can search for an invoice by serial number (as there is no practical way to search for an invoice by Description).
This is a degrade in functionality, as the Classic invoicing did not have this limitation.
I do not know how I can continue to use Xero once we are forced to the new invoicing, as my invoices are updated *mostly* by the API. When I have to edit an invoice, what is going to happen to my reference which is longer than 255 characters?
