Hi 👋 we have the below function that is used for updating Invoices, but some fields are locked once an Invoice is finalized:
https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/update

Did you try to use that approach and run into errors?

yes I tried to update the description and I get this error:
Finalized invoices can't be updated in this way

Gotcha. So there are some other fields that you can try to use, depending on what you're trying to use this information for. Our metadata parameter is a good option for storing data that is important to you and your processes in a key-value pair structure on Stripe objects.

I see, so we cannot update fields of a finalized invoice (except the metadata), right!

I don't recall off-hand exactly which fields continue to be editable after finalization, but a lot of them do get locked down.
