Hi KNoel,
Indeed if a change is made to a specification, then that change would be reflected in all future invoice printing when using that spec.
I suspect your specs are defined so that blank rows are suppressed, and that is why putting in a period is allowing an extra row to print.
If only some invoices require changes for additional spacing, and other invoices do not, you'd have to determine what factors come into play where the extra spacing is required or not, and that could point toward the desired solution. Perhaps the answer is to create an 'item' that simply prints a blank line, with a different spec type different than 'real items', so that blank lines are not suppressed. Sample data has this method set up. Or another answer might be to increase the height of specific detail sections so that extra space is always included - though if this is not desired for all invoices then this would mean having different specs.
There are always trade-offs, and I'm sure your consultant will be able to assist.
