This is still an annoying issue.  Why is this not yet implemented?  It would be very, very easy to do. ... View more

Recently it seems that the invoice pages underwent a redesign.  However it also seems that there is still no option to set a default hourly rate.  This should be so simple.  Why is it not a thing? ... View more

Is there a way to set the default hourly rate so it doesn't have to be entered for each item added to the invoice?  Currently I can set a default which autofills as expected in the first item row, but when adding new items the hourly rate box defaults to 0.00 (see image below).  (similarly, the Hours column shows 0 for the first row but then automatically sets 1 for new rows.  why?)   ...

Thanks.  I figured that's what I'd have to end up doing.  I didn't want the funds to be mixed in with my other funds at all, so moving them to my bank account wouldn't really help anything.  I guess I'll just have to figure something else out.     ... View more

How do I prevent donated funds from being used?

I'm using a Chip-In on a web page to help raise a specific amount of money for something I want to save up for.  Someone already donated a little bit, and it goes straight into my PayPal account.  Today I paid for something with PayPal and it used that donated money.   Is there any way I can prevent this from happening?  I'd like to be able to receive the donations but when I make purchases via PayPal I don't want it to use that money.  I want it to take it out of my bank account.  I thought I should have that option but I didn't see it when I made my purchase today. ...
