Can I add Material Items List to Quotes and Invoicing for a respective Job # from external Tool by any means?
We have a 3rd party seperate tool called Measure to track all the Materials, Quantity and related cost for a Job , it becomes redundant to enter the same list in Quotes and Invoicing Tab. So, we are wondering what could be the right direction to automate this.
Guidance is appreciated.

What purpose does the job field READY_TO_INVOICE serve?
Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to pull together a list via API of jobs which are completed but not yet invoiced.
The trouble is choosing which field to filter my API call by
STATUS = "Completed" - returns too many positives
INVOICE_SENT = "false" - returns too many positives
I had the idea to filter by jobs READY_TO_INVOICE however by default the jobs keep a value of "1" even after they have been invoiced.
My next thought was perhaps once the jobs are invoiced to change READY_TO_INVOICE from "1" back to "0" so these jobs don't reappear when I filter by READY_TO_INVOICE
Can anyone share any insight on whether this will have adverse effects on other things?

How to test a Servicem8 custom add-on under development on the mobile app
I'm working on creating a custom add-on for Servicem8. While it works in the dispatch board within jobs on the web version, I'm struggling to locate the same add-on within the mobile app. Can Servicem8 support this feature on mobile, and if it can, what's the process to enable it?

Assett Labels
Have previusoly ordered customer assett labels from Exelprint.
After testing them they are not standing up to the enviroments that we need to use them (mining)
We use a Brady M71 printer that will allows us to print on more stable materials suited to the installation conditions. This printer can generate customer qr codes and bardoces using a range of symboly and has the abilty to print sequenced labels or just have a single data value, we can adjust density and print ratios.
Is it possible to setup our own qr asset labels or are we limited to those offered by excel print?

Programatically refresh job card/diary
Hi. I have made an add-on that adds an image to the job diary/notes. The diary entry doesnt show the entry until the job card is closed and opened again.
Is there any way to trigger a refresh of the diary section in the parent job card from an add-on card?

Intermittent failure to Update Quote Line Items via API
We have noticed an increasing prevalence of Job updates via API not being shown in SM8 jobs.
We update Quote Line Items and Work Completed inside SM8 Jobs, as well as sending PDFs to the Job Diary.
Work Completed and PDFs always update – but sometimes the Line Items do not appear in the jobs.
We do not get an error message because SM8 accepts the data – but sometimes it fails to publish the line items.
Since last Tuesday this occurs much more frequently – it used to be once every 500 updates or so – now we have customers where it happens multiple times a week. The Job shows the 'Work Completed', but the line items are empty.
If we send another update to the SM8 Job (containing a single line item), it prompts SM8 to show all the line items that have been sent previously.
This proves that the data from initial upload is in SM8, but something is stopping the publication of the data to the SM8 Job. The second upload from FlatRateNOW prompts SM8 to show the data.
Has anyone else noticed this? Thanks

Geocordinates in new Job via API
I already have coordinates for jobs so when I add via the API, they are overridden by a search on the address.
If I make the address invalid eg
"job_address": "crap address ",
"lng":171.34470269,"
"lat":-42.09278384,
...it defaults to the head office location
"lng": 174.7644881,
"lat": -36.8508827,
What is the usage of lat+lng paramaters in the job create API?

Custom fields numeric conversion, delete failure
I have created a numeric custom field and when I set one record to the value of 5555555 then look at the result via api or web interface and the value turns up as 5555560.
I query the api for list of existing customfields and get this:
[{"uuid":"81c6df78-765e-4bc4-885c-203f5cc5010b","object":"job","display_name":"Property ID","field_name":"prop_id","field_type":"Numeric","is_unique":0,"sort_priority":0,"max_length":0},{"uuid":"96051471-5c35-48ff-b768-203f59a3303b","object":"company","display_name":"Property ID","field_name":"prop_id","field_type":"Numeric","is_unique":1,"sort_priority":0,"max_length":0},{"uuid":"fbbb2eee-3ead-414b-b51d-203f5401ecdb","object":"job","display_name":"Kowhai Lead ID","field_name":"quote_lead_id","field_type":"Numeric","is_unique":0,"sort_priority":0,"max_length":0}]
Immediately after I try to delete the fields and get this for each attempt:
{"errorCode":100,"message":"Invalid UUID"}
The DELETE method is called with payload of e.g. UUID=81c6df78-765e-4bc4-885c-203f5cc5010b as per documentation.
