Improve NZ GST number display (sales templates)

I notice that the display of the NZ GST number on sales invoices is inaccurate and insufficient. The business settings stores an NZ GST number fully and correctly formatted, but the template displays that number with no leading text, without any formatting, and without a leading zero.

It would be far more accurate to print a line reading "GST Number: 012-345-678", not "12345678" which is all we get at the moment.

For the moment I use the website field to display the GST number as I wish.

PS. I'm pleased to see that the  GST field can now be included in the template without triggering an error when saving the template.

 

On a related subject, I notice that the sales template settings for my files, which have been upgraded from the desktop version in April, do not include the option to use custom forms created in the desktop file, whereas a desktop file opened in the browser allows all custom forms to be used. The custom forms are stored in the database, and therefore may be still available (unless they have been left behind?). I really hope this will be possible in the future, as more and more files become browser only.

    It shouldn't be necessary to point out that MYOB's invoices to their clients read "GST Number: 69-698-934", but I'll say it anyway.
