hi there! by 'revise' you mean you'd like to change it some way? AFAIK, you can't, once an Invoice has been finalized, it's immutable

I am actually referring to this edit invoice section. Please refer: https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/invoice-edits

Edit invoices

Learn how to edit invoices after finalization.

#

When I try to create an invoice using the 'from_invoice' parameter, it returns me with an error that "You cannot revise an invoice that is for a subscription or has line items that contain a reference to a subscription."

#

Please help me out if I am doing it wrong.

ah ok, I've never seen this page before, looking

#

but yeah as it says right there

You can’t revise invoices that are attached to subscriptions after finalization. For these types of invoices, the Edit invoice button is disabled.

#

which is the same thing the error message from the API is telling you basically. You can't do this for a recurring invoice from a subscription

So is there no way for updating my invoice ?

no. I mean to be clear, that page is not about editing the invoice, we call it that but its actually creating a new invoice that copies the details of the from_invoice

you could perhaps technically do the same thing manually by creating a new invoice and manually adding some details, but it won't be the same and you can't attach that new invoice to the same subscription, so it doesn't really work or make sense
