    Hi community, thanks for continuing to share how time-consuming it can be to repeat the same details across multiple lines in an invoice, quote or bill.

    We’re working on an improvement to the line item grid of these transactions that'll improve the process for you all here.

    We're developing the ability to drag the contents of a field in one row up or down a column to apply it across other line items. There will also be keyboard options for those that prefer not to use a mouse.

    Once available, this’ll make it much easier to repeat details like tracking, account codes and tax rates across line items without re-entering the same value over and over.

    I'll be back to share once this is rolled out, with more detail on how to make use!

    So two years and no progress on your article.

    I suggested this over 6 months ago too.

    After spending hours once a month producing an average of 40 invoices manually, the missing feature causes, specifically for us an extra two hours manually editing each entry field, where missing Select all is not there in the columns.

    For us that is an average of an extra 480 edits on manual invoices.

    Nothing has been done since your article was published, and with the amount of time spent with this issue manually creating invoices completely undermines the integrity of Xero software.

    It does not provide the end user with the simplicity of XLS functionality which is basic.

    Working with our own developer this is a function that is not that difficult to implement as it works in same way as the already coded drop down functions imbedded for example Tax rates.

    Finding Xero excuses for this very inadequate when compared with cost of subscription.
