--------------------------------------
Hi Jacques,
{noformat}
#1 Showing the payment (or invoice) sub-menu when there is no info (like in
overview) about the payment (or invoice) seems ambiguous to me. For instance
for payment attribute there is a Create button but it's to create a payment not
an attribute.
#2 I understand it's only about view, but, for both invoice and payment, would
not be logical to have an attribut create feature before being able to view
it?{noformat}
Re #1 Indeed, the label for the 'create' trigger is ambiguous. As a result of
past choices. I tried to fix that with OFBIZ-11780 and PR181 in June of 2020.
But that didn't get in. If it had been, the trigger for sub elements of an
object (Invoice, Payment, etc) either via <object>SubTabBar menu or directly
(via links) would have been much less ambiguous.
Re #2 That, my friend, is a classic chicken and egg situation. And the lack of
functionality to create something regarding an entity is another issue and
ticket.
