"Invalid field name: compact_item_print" when opening invoices, quotations, etc [v12]

I am not aware of the steps you have took to get this error.
But you can try to disable this field from Print Settings and check.

@harshit-30 It is really peculiar.

I restored to one of my v11 snapshots. From there I upgraded to v12:

git config remote.upstream.fetch "+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/upstream/*" in frappe-bench/apps/erpnext
bench switch-to-branch version-12 --upgrade
bench update --patch

Compact_item_print is not listed as a field under Print Settings. Chrome console displays the following:

Not sure what I might have done to cause this. It appears the Compact Item Print setting in Print Settings hasn’t existed for several versions now.

I reverted to v11 and everything functions normally.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would be beyond grateful.

Thank you,
Max

maxvogel · August 2, 2019, 2:05am

Is there possibly another way for me to disable Compact Item Print?

In a little bit of a pinch,
Max

maxvogel · August 3, 2019, 4:46pm

Found this… not sure if this means anything.

Justine_Jay_Caneza · August 8, 2019, 5:51am

Any update on how to solve this?

maxvogel · August 9, 2019, 2:57am

No, good to hear that I am not alone though .

Mahmoud_Ghoneem · August 14, 2019, 6:50pm

Same Here !!

Mahmoud_Ghoneem · August 15, 2019, 3:00pm

so what is your suggestion ?

should we comment this code or what ?

clarkej · August 15, 2019, 4:15pm

I suggest ask Frappe to review this Issues · frappe/erpnext · GitHub

In my v11 instance print_taxes_with_zero_amount is also gone from Print Settings.

The UI, code and database may need rework for these two Print Settings fields:

Mahmoud_Ghoneem · August 17, 2019, 11:59am

3rd day now without accessing SO,QO, & SINV

even after commenting that line !!!

any idea to help my team to work ?

Kar_M · August 17, 2019, 12:15pm

I remember adding the custom field to print settings manually to fix the problem

Mahmoud_Ghoneem · August 17, 2019, 12:21pm

thanks @Kar_M it works !!

thanks @clarkej @maxvogel

maxvogel · August 24, 2019, 4:08am

@Mahmoud_Ghoneem

Would you mind elaborating how you solved this issue?

Mahmoud_Ghoneem · August 24, 2019, 4:22am

in print settings doctype creat a new custom field with same name “compact_item_print” and make its type as check

thats all

YGhoul · June 30, 2020, 3:07pm

in V12 you cannot add custom filed to single doctype, so how can i add custom filed in Print Settings Doctype?

Wes_Guirra · December 16, 2020, 11:08am

Any solution? as @YGhoul said it’s not possible to accomplish the given solution in v12.

YGhoul · January 24, 2021, 1:26pm

You can add it by using custom field screen
