Hi Derek,
So this is a "hidden" feature!
On the unposted invoice, Billing Information panel, the Customer field has an
"Edit..." button, which to me means I can select the customer.
Instead, it only allows altering the Customer information.
Currently the proper way is to go to the top GnuCash ribbon and select "Edit
Invoice" which then allows the proper "Customer ... Select" option.
This is very non-intuitive: I can't think of any reason I would want to edit
the basic Customer information from an invoice.
Possibly a fix for a later release?
Thanks for your help,
Eric

HI,
You want to make sure you SELECT vendor, not EDIT vendor.
There is a difference!
