I and Admin(s) may need to see/work with the relational key to attempt to determine why/if something is F-ed.
off the top of my head scenario: invoice does not show expected line items. -(for me) first step examine raw data to see if the 'missing' line item(s) exist. -- to do this you need to at least search the line item table for the Invoice ID --- invoice ID is longint (type 1234567) poof line items --- invoice ID is UUID (type UUID 17 times because : typos, TL;DR, transposition) finally line items (maybe) ---- try search again (at least look at search dialog) to be sure UUID was typed correctly, and the location of line items was not a fluke where a typed UUID was in fact another UUID in use. - proceed with determining if the line items found are what was expected.
