Submit bug report for Quickbooks Desktop for Mac

I have a bug report to send in, but I can’t find the option to send it through my Quickbooks Desktop on my MacBook. Here’s the details:

 

Product Information:

  • OS Platform: macOS Tahoe 26.5.1
  • Application: QuickBooks Desktop for Mac (on the most recent update)
  • Email Connection Protocol: Integrated Gmail Account (OAuth / Enhanced Security)

 

Issue Summary:

There is a critical user-interface memory-caching bug within the "Email Forms" workspace. When attempting to batch-send multiple invoices simultaneously using the integrated Gmail OAuth connection, QuickBooks Mac fails to parse or pass the Customer Email string variable to the outbound transmission queue. This results in an immediate connection failure ("There were one or more problems sending forms to your email provider") and subsequently strips/wipes the email addresses entirely from the affected transaction lines in the batch list.

 

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Generate multiple customer invoices and flag them all for "Email Later".
  2. Ensure every customer profile card has a valid email address mapped to it.
  3. Open File > Send Forms. Select the entire batch (e.g., 15 invoices) and click Send Now without selecting or clicking into individual rows on the left-hand column list first.
  4. The transmission engine fails mid-batch.
  5. Upon inspecting the "Email Forms" batch view again, the Send To email text column for the failed rows appears completely blank, even though the data remains intact on the master customer cards.

 

The Root Cause & Verified Workaround:

The background batch engine fails to query or load the customer contact data strings into active RAM upon opening the workspace. The bug is explicitly bypassed if a user manually clicks down the left-hand column, selecting every single client row one by one before hitting send. Triggering the visual right-hand preview panel forces QuickBooks to run its real-time data-fetching query, loading the email strings into active system memory. Once the data is cached via manual row-clicking, the entire bulk batch sends instantly and flawlessly without server rejection.

 

This bug completely breaks the automated "bulk send" functionality that is critical for accounting workflows. Manually clicking through dozens of rows to force a memory cache is a time-consuming workaround that defeats the efficiency of a desktop application. Furthermore, running the internal Verify/Rebuild Data utilities reports zero database corruption, confirming that this is strictly an application-layer UI cache glitch. Please pass this detailed breakdown to your Mac development team to ensure the data-fetching queries are globally triggered upon opening the "Email Forms" window, rather than relying on an individual row-click interface trigger.
