Accessing expense notes in invoice template

Hi all,

I can't figure out how to access the text I've entered in the notes field of my expenses from the invoice templates. When I try something like:

{% for project in invoice.items_by_project %}
  {{ item.description }}
  {{ item.notes }}
{% endfor %}

[[ item.description }} prints only the job descriptions, and {{ item.notes }} doesn't print anything. What am I missing?

   Hi Alexander,

   'item' here refers to the 'invoice item' and not the expenses...

   Look at the template 'invoice_row' - at the bottom. There's a loop that goes over item.expenses - where it prints out 'description'.

   PS: Unless you've modified your templates heavily you should be able to print out this stuff simply by selecting the 'show detailed expenses' checkbox when editing an invoice.

   Best,
