Issues with Importing Invoices

[DaveC49]

Hi Buster,
Customer jobs are not meant to be the same as Vendor jobs at least according
to
the Gnucash Help manual entries which seem to indicate that they are
separate
https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v2.6/C/gnucash-help/busnss-ar-jobs1.html and
https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v2.6/C/gnucash-help/busnss-ap-jobs1.html.
 
However the Find Jobs dialog does not seem to distinguish between customer
and vendor jobs. If you enter a search term (anything will do, e.g. "*"),
hit Find ( returns nothing or anything matching what you entered) and then
hit Find again all jobs are listed. (This shifts the radio button on the
left to the refine search option after doing a new search which returns all
the jobs both customer and vendor). I could not find this behavior
documented anywhere, but I presume it does a regex search to match any
character on the second Find. You can also select "matches regex" instead of
"contains in the search option and enter "." in the text field as documented
in the find documentation referenced  below, however I find the double Find
is quicker than altering the search citeria ( at least for a small number of
customers/vendors/jobs). You cannot allocate a vendor job to a customer
invoice as the find jobs  dialog for setting the job in the invoice edit
dialog is limited to customer jobs (and I presume similarly for Bills
/vendor jobs but I have not tested this).

The Find behavior is documented at
https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v2.6/C/gnucash-help/busnss-ar-customers1.html#busnss-ar-custfind2
in the Help Manual.
