Hey everyone,

So I’m half-competent with HTML, and I’ve been messing around with the sales invoice template. I’m getting somewhere, but one solution that eludes me is changing the Item column to reflect the Item Name instead of the Item Code (which is useless info for my customers at the moment). What is the variable for the Item Name line in the Inventory? It’s not line.item.name like the default markup would suggest; that variable shows the Item Code instead.

I think you will find that Item Name is no longer available as a variable - as that field is for internal use only. For your customers the product name should be in the Description field.

There has been lots of discussion on this - read here

> Is there any way to show the inventory item in the print view . meaning I am manually entering the inventory item in the description area only then does it reflect as that product. Is there a way to have that item to show in the view or print view without entering it manually.

Thanks 🙂 I guess I can live with it that way.
