No, this behavior is by design.

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!

Thanks Derek,

This worked, but it is really tricky:
Editing the vendor pops up (apparently) the actual Vendor information
"card"
I changed the Vendor name, and found I now had two Vendor cards with
the same name and different ID numbers.
Which showed the wrong Vendor in other Bills.
Thankfully I had not saved the file, so I bailed and tried again.
I discovered that I had to simultaneously change the vendor's name AND
ID to the correct one in the edit form.

Somehow, I picked the wrong vendor when entering many bills in
GnuCash, and posted them.
I find that Vendor entry in the bill is not changeable, even after
un-posting them.
Is there a way, other than deleting and re-entering them, to correct
this?
Thanks

- Unpost Bill
- Edit Bill (this pops up the dialog similar to the New Bill dialog)
- From there you can select a new Vendor.
