We are incredibly grateful that you took the time to get back to us and inform us of what you're experiencing right now, Sandy.
For now, we haven't received reports about issues on invoice numbers that are repeating. I'm glad you have found a workaround to adjust the invoice number. This will be great news to other users who may also experience this in the future.
