Are you referring to existing invoices or new ones? Making something inactive does not change previous transactions. If that happened, all the invoices of a former customer who you made inactive would disappear. The point of making something inactive is to eliminate it from future transactions. ---

A bit difficult to fix a bug which nobody else can reproduce. Would you be able to send in a business file where this issue occurs? My email is `lubos@manager.io`. ---

@raJ, does this problem persist if you give the custom field a label? ---
