Why can't a group item enter the description on the same line as the item number?

I got a simple explanation on why this is how it was set up, gerdgoebel.

This works as designed and we don't have an option in QuickBooks Desktop to change it. The Group item's description is added after the last item because the total amount appears after the last item in the group.

We'll take note of your feedback so we can use this to improve your experience with QuickBooks and align the program's functions with your business needs.

It might be by design, but I looks and is horrible.

Before you display the items in the group you have the total amounts already, thus, it could easily be displayed on the first line where it belongs, instead of adding yet another line.

I just think the design could be optimized to make the form look better.

Has this feature been added yet? It would be really helpful to hide the subtotal of a group price. Imagine entering 20 groups on an invoice, it makes the invoice look very messy. Any update?

Has this ability been added? I as well would like to hide the group price subtotal. Imagine putting in 20 separate group items and it shows 20 subtotals on the printed invoice. Any way to hide this?

Hello there, swift.
