Is it possible to create an invoice that automatically assigns a due by date. E.g. 7 days into the future, 30 days into the future etc. When I create invoices they always carry a 7 day payment deadline, however sometimes, more than often, I forget to assign a due by date for the invoice. It would be ideal to have some sort of preference setting that allowed you to set an amount of days for a payment deadline into the future which would be applied automatically to every invoice, with an option to override it if necessary. ---

When you create your next invoice and set the due date, click on the blue link that says `(set default)` and that will be the default for all future invoices. ---

Got you. I didn’t see that setting. Thank you. ---
