Here's nothing new, the new Estimates and Invoice designs that people have been complaining about for a year absolutely suck!
How do I copy a SKU from an estimate or invoice? I can add it to the layout, I just can't select it. Until a few days ago I was able to copy SKU's and paste them in my vendor portals and it was all really smooth. Now I can't click on the the SKU, highlight them, copy them. You (as in INTUIT) just added hours of work to my daily life by removing this simple ability.
Is there a way to copy a SKU from the NEW Estimate and Invoice Layout?

U understand that your proposal means I'll be doing this possibly dozens of times per invoice? In the old view I could click to copy every SKU from the estimate or invoice page!
If it wasn't broken, then why did it need to be 'fixed'? Your 'improvement' has absolutely DESTROYED our productivity. This was the last straw for our QBO experiment, this has been a complete fail. Until then, I still have purchases that need to be made...
Does anyone have any other suggestions? I'm at a complete loss here with this manufactured crisis Intuit has created.
