    Hi everyone, understand the difference between a description only line and what's being asked for in the idea here. 

    This isn't something we have planned at present. 

    We do want to highlight the existing option for anyone interested that could benefit from the option mentioned earlier in the conversation (thanks, Paco) 

    Currently, it is possible to 'description' only lines to an invoice (with no Qty or Price) where you can enter up to 4000 characters worth of detail that could help you signal a note within an invoice to your customer. 

    We will continue to assess ideas in the forum here and let you know if there are any changes surrounding this to share.

    This was idea was submitted 2012.

    THIRTEEN YEARS AGO.

    As a programmer, I understand why this has not been implemented, as it's extremely difficult to change the format of the line in the table (especially with custom .docx files) to have either a full line that stretches across the table (merging all the cells) or a standard line with all the individual details.

    So here's an idea.

    1. The advanced templates will have two table rows in the items loop:
    1.1 The first defines the table row design of a comment
    1.2 The second defines the table row design of an itemised line

    2. The PDF creator will choose to use:
    2.1 The comment line format if the item quantity is empty or has a value of 0 (zero)
    2.2 The itemised line format if it's not zero.

    I don't even want to be paid for this idea.
    But I know it's doable and not too hard to implement, if you've written your code well.

    So, get it done and see the kudos flow in.
