Is there a way to set the default hourly rate so it doesn't have to be entered for each item added to the invoice? Currently I can set a default which autofills as expected in the first item row, but when adding new items the hourly rate box defaults to 0.00 (see image below). (similarly, the Hours column shows 0 for the first row but then automatically sets 1 for new rows. why?)

Hi there my friend,
It's good that you reached out to us regarding this matter.It's sad to know that you are in that situation right now. As a standard, it was set up that way by PayPal to accommodate different rates from different countries using PayPal, so it can be modified easily. I'm so sorry if you find it as a hassle. If the option will be available soon we will let you know. Continue to monitor your account online via our website www.paypal.com for any updates.
Hope this helps. Stay safe my friend.

Recently it seems that the invoice pages underwent a redesign. However it also seems that there is still no option to set a default hourly rate. This should be so simple. Why is it not a thing?

This is still an annoying issue. Why is this not yet implemented? It would be very, very easy to do.
