Hi Joe

Never mind I have just found where that option is set, in case anyone else is wondering there is a new Tick Box under the items page. I had to select Labour from the drop list and then chose Editable Description and then update.

Thanks again for your help Joe.

Regards
Brett

Hi Joe I think I may have found the change in code from 2.1 to 2.3 however I'm not sure how to fix it. Here is the only noticeable difference I can find.

if ($order->line_items[$id]->descr_editable)
text_cells(null,'item_description', null, 45, 150);
else {
hidden('item_description', $_POST['item_description']);
label_cell($_POST['item_description']);
}
// } else {
// sales_items_list_cells(null,'item_description', null, false, true);
// }

I can't figure out what it's actually doing though. It seems to think the description is not editable where is this set?

First you could try to empty your browser cache and try again.

The files included are: /sales/sales_order_entry, function handle_update_item
and /sales/includes/ui/sales_order_ui.inc, function sales_order_item_controls.
And the file /includes/cart_class.inc.

Could you possibly tell me where in the PHP file I should look or perhaps which PHP file I should try replacing.

Hi I have upgraded from 2.1 to 2.3 and now I am not able to edit my Item Description field anymore by just clicking the pencil.

It used to work fine but now when I do it I can only change the Qty, Price and Discount. I need to be able to change the Description on a Ad-Hoc basis so that for instance Labour I can then edit it and put down a description of the work completed.

Please help urgently I need to bill my clients.
