[GNC] Problem Editing Payment - Customer Job

[Adrien Monteleone]

Keith, sorry I don't use the Jobs feature so can't comment specifically.

Is there something holding you back from v4.11? 4.5 is over 2 years old 
and there are 5 regular releases since then. (and 1 snap release, so 
only small changes for that one.)

Maybe do a search on the release notes for v 4.6–4.11 with respect to 
fixes pertaining to Jobs and/or Invoices.

There are lots of code fixes and cleanups happening with each release. 
While you might not see a specific fix, related to a bug or not, the 
issue might have been resolved due to a code change for, ostensibly, 
other reasons.

Maybe someone who uses Jobs will chime in.

Regards,
Adrien
