Quickbooks timecenter notes field is no longer copied to the invoice description field.

Sweet baby Jesus, I figured it out!  After 20 hours with Quickbooks over 2 weeks I figured out the issue myself! 

When you choose to enter time worked for Billable time and costs on an invoice, there is an options button on the far right.   When I clicked that the dialog box opened and the "combine activities with same service item" was selected.  No idea how or why that got changed but changing it to transfer notes and descriptions fixed the issue.

I fixed it myself!  After hours of talking to support, I figured out what went wrong.  See below.  I was able to add time worked and clicked on "options" and somehow "combine activities with the same service items" was checked!  I set to "Transfer both notes and descriptions" and voila!  Works again!  I feel cheated that I upgraded to 2022 to get support and wasted 20 hours and 2 weeks only to figure it out myself!  :-(

I think it would be helpful not to send boilerplate bot responses to issues.  It only confuses the community.  I did post that I fixed it myself and it is working in a fully patched 2022 instance of QB Desktop.  I was also told by one of the 7 different technicians on the help desk that it was no longer supported which is CLEARLY not the case.  I nearly had a heart attack thinking that I would have to start copying 1000's of lines of entries manually and that I would have to switch to another accounting package only to find out that it was a simple click on 2 radio buttons in a unobvious menu location.

Misinformation only causes distrust in the product.  Please take more time to learn the product before commenting in the future.  I am not a regular QB user and have no experience in accounting but I was able to figure this out on my own which is why I posted the solution.  While it may be true that an update caused the change (as I don't see how it would have been possible for us to make the change by mistake due to the obscure path to get to the setting), it is totally false that copying the notes to the invoice is not supported.

Appreciate the update, @dmflick.
