    Hi everyone, we appreciate the interest in being able to add dates to individual lines of an invoice. Currently our team are focused on improvements to new invoicing and we want to be upfront we don't have any plans for adding a date column to the details grid within an invoice atm.

    Right now if you do require dates for individual line items we'd recommend adding these within the Description field of the line.

    We will continue to review this as we continue to evolve the product. If there are any updates or changes, we'll share this all with you through the idea here. Thanks

    For the record and to be clear, XERO never listened to any of this, the response above only came in after I opened a support case today and requested a response to this 4-year-old request, it was only then someone wrote the response above indicating that XERO has no intention to bother with the date field.

    For what it's worth; This is a Critical issue, not having it on the horizon for fix after almost 4 years of customer requesting and complaining about this is a total ignorance.

    Dear Xero,

    Do you mind please sharing an update whether this feature would be implemented or not?

    Thanks

    I am literally struggling now to "automate" my invoices to clients as they do require to see the dates of items being billed ... example: I submit a weekly invoice to my client and I must detail which date within the week my staff worked, so far I have been doing manual documents via MS word, but would really help a lot to all businesses if you could please add this feature. We are all paying customers of XERO, we do like it, I hate to move into another accounts provider just because this feature is not there. I notice this has been requested since 2022, would appreciate if XERO could add this field into the works, as a programmer myself it shouldn't be a hard thing to do, ... if you need me to help with this addition; I'm more than happy to chip in and do this for you.
