Summary

We've resolved this issue when you enter an unlimited number of characters in the service invoice details, Sage 50 Accounts hangs.

Description

In v28.1 - v32.1 of Sage 50 Accounts, an issue lets you enter an unlimited number of characters in the service invoice Details section. This causes the software to freeze and display the message eventually. The Description field has a limit of 120 characters on a service invoice.

We resolved this by adding a character limit to prevent the crashing.
