Research direction
Start by reading the FormIntent definition and its rendering path, then compare them with the document page's items panel, which the issue names as the rendering reference. Add support for a read-only composition-child items table using the requested fields; done means invoice task forms show their lines under the header fields without row actions.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
What happens
forms: (FormIntent: name, forEntity, description, fields, editable, actions) lists header fields of forEntity and one-hop cross-model fields (Customer.email, #7093). There is no way to show the composition children of the document on a task form. The Approve / Issue / Confirm tasks of a sales invoice therefore show number, customer and total only: the approver approves an amount without seeing what is billed (BusinessIntents base-sales-invoices#27, end-user pass on sta; still true on v14.88.0 and v14.90.0 - FormIntent is unchanged).
Ask
A read-only items table on a task form, e.g.
forms:
- { name: ApproveSalesInvoice, forEntity: SalesInvoice, fields: [number, date, Customer, total, Status],
items: { entity: SalesInvoiceItem, fields: [name, quantity, price, vatRate, total] }, actions: [approve, reject] }
rendered under the header fields with the same column rendering as the document page's items panel (read-only, no row actions). items.entity must be a composition child of forEntity; the fields are that child's own (a one-hop like Product.name would be a bonus).
Filed from BusinessIntents base-sales-invoices#27 item 5 (pre-train wave 2026-10-17). Item 4 of the same issue (the credit-hold form shows the limit and the exposure) is done in the module with a one-hop Customer.creditLimit and a stored exposure column, so this ask is only about the lines.
