    Hi everyone, we totally get wanting more efficiency in entering repetitive data into your invoices, especially when updating longer invoices.

    We’re working on an improvement to the line item grid of invoices that’ll make repeated column-based entry much faster. 😊

    Once out, you'll be able to drag the contents of a field in one row up or down a column, making repeated updates much easier when entering things like account codes, tracking or tax rates.

    I’ll round back to share once this is available to you all here.

    Why can’t Xero do basic spreadsheet-style paste???

    This is honestly ridiculous: in 2026, Xero still can’t handle basic multi-cell paste like every normal grid on the web.

    Everyone uses Excel, Google Sheets, Airtable. We copy blocks of rows and columns all day. In Xero, the same paste either dumps into one field or doesn’t work, so we’re forced into CSV import or manual entry. That is a massive waste of time for something that should be a baseline feature.

    There is no technical excuse here. Airtable/Sheets don’t do anything magical. In a browser, multi-cell paste is just:

    Clipboard text in TSV format (tabs between columns, newlines between rows)

    A grid intercepts the paste event, reads clipboardData.getData('text/plain'), parses the TSV, and fills the grid cells

    For strict fields (Account, Tax Rate, Tracking), it matches exact values or flags invalid cells with a clear error

    Request
    Add spreadsheet-style multi-row, multi-column paste (TSV) into line item grids (Invoices and Bills at minimum). Create new lines automatically, validate values, and highlight any cells that don’t match (e.g., Account/Tax). This is a basic productivity feature and Xero is behind on it.

    be MODERN. PLEASE!
