After you re-create the payment, does it show as 'owned by' the Customer
or the Job? (as before)
I'm going to hazard a guess this is due to the following:
In order to match payments, each payment and invoice need a common
'owner'. There can be only one 'owner' of a document. (payment, invoice,
bill) If I recall correctly, the Jobs feature is implemented by
replacing the Customer/Vendor owner with the Job as owner. This still
otherwise works, because a Job is tied 1:1 with a single
Customer/Vendor. (you can't have the same Job associated with multiple
Customers/Vendors)
I'm not sure if this is a bug 'as-code-error' as it is maybe an
oversight to facilitate editing of a payment with a Job assigned due to
design decisions. Certainly, I agree with the expectation that it should
work regardless.

A sidebar here is that a Job can't be assigned to both a Vendor and
Customer. You *can* have two Jobs with the same name one assigned to
each, but they aren't tied together in anyway.

Back in 2021, I reported an issue that I was having with editing an invoice
payment if the invoice had a job associated with it. When I try to edit the
payment, the payment dialog shows the job and not the customer, and I can not
select the customer. This issue still exists in GnuCash 4.9.
Has anyone else encountered the issue? Does anyone else use jobs with invoices
and have not experienced this problem?
I have to delete the payment and create a new one.
I submitted a Bugzilla bug (Bug 798210), but I haven’t seen any activity on the
ticket since I posted it.
