We use recurring items (sales invoices, purchase invoices, payslips) frequently. One thing that can help further reduce manual effort is if we can have some templated text in the description and custom fields.
For example, let’s say I have to pay my cloud service provider every month. Here I want to create a purchase invoice with description:
"Cloud service - Feb 2022"
Here the recurring invoice can have the title
"Cloud service - {{format(issue_date, 'mmm YYYY'}}"
or something similar.
