Dear MYOB,

 

In version 19 you used to be able to use the M-Powered form to customise a normal form template.  We liked to use the M-Powered forms due to the set format and just edit them as we liked.

 

Now in 2014.3 I get a "new" error message I have not seen before every time I want to print the template I just spend 1.5 hours fiddling around and creating.  The client will not be happy with this and now I will spend another 1.5 hours creating it in the non m-powered format.:smileysad:

 

Also in version 19 you could copy from one form to another you can't do that anymore.:smileysurprised:

 

Lastly 2014.3 doesn't even have M-Powered invoices so why bother with this message???.:smileyindifferent:

 

Can we have the features back that did work?

 

Frustrated much...

    Hi Renae CloudMindAcc 

     

    Your suggestion is yet another duplicate of this popular 'new idea' created nearly 2 years ago (14/9/2012) on this link Copying fields when customising invoices although it has only 15 votes to date (10/7/2014).

     

    I also note you previously made on 26/11/2013 an earlier duplication of the same idea on this link Customised Forms - ability to copy fields/text removed? though you still have have not voted for the original new idea of 14/9/2014 as Barry_C suggested.

     

    The idea has been excessively duplicated and each time an idea is duplicated, the votes given to the duplicate idea are lost; that can possibly explain why the Original 'new idea' currently has only 15 votes, I suspect it would have had at least 60 votes by now had votes not been wasted on duplications.

    Thanks Tazinx I will vote on all of them... yes I totally get your point... there is 1700 posts on submit an idea and whilst I am busy tonight re-creating a form I don't have time to search for the duplicates.

    MYOB... Can't the the posts be merged into one.

    Oh I see Tazinx it was my duplicate again... maybe if it was fixed we would not duplicate them over and over again.

    And for the record I had actually voted for the post as directed by Barry_C - thanks for checking up on me???

    Hi Renae, CloudMindAcc 

     

    I was not checking up on you quite the contrary and sincerely apologise for indicating that you had not yet voted for the idea as I could not find where your comments had been added to it.  However, you have since added your pertinent comments which gives substance to your vote and spells out to the development team you needs; well done.

     

    Thank you.

     

    Best Regards
