Join nowI have a standard blurb I use when emailing invoices to clients that I often edit. I have always been able to make edits when I send my email thru outlook. Now quickbooks seems to be over-riding my edits and changing it back to the default blurb.
How to I stop that from happening?
Thank you for taking the time to post your concern in the Community space, @laura227.
You can modify the template you're using and make some changes from there. Just make sure that you click the default button upon the changes.
Before doing so, you'll have to make sure that your QBDT is updated to the latest version. For more information, you can also check out this article: Update to the latest release of QuickBooks Desktop.
Here's how to modify your template:

I want to make a one time edit; not a permanent edit to the template.
I may like to include the date of the next time we will be on site, remind them of a past due invoice, or just personalize the one email I am sending out. I have always done this - qb is linked to outlook, I edit the email in outlook and hit send. Now when i hit send my edits disappear and the standard template replaced it without warnings, notifications, or anything. I have always made edits to my emails. This is a new problem with QB.
Hi laura227!
I understand that you need to edit the invoice before sending it. Let me share some details about it.
The steps shared by my colleague should fix unusual behavior in QuickBooks Desktop. Since the same thing happens, I suggest reaching out to our Support Team. They can take a look at it and see what's causing this issue.

We are having the same issue as are many others. See Reddit forum below:

Has anyone had any response from Intuit as to when this should be fixed, we have a client running Enterprise 20 r11 with what appears to be the same issue?
