Two problems: Impossible to add several projects from the same client in the same invoice and Duplicate projects

I find it impossible to create one invoice including several projects from the same client with same currency in Business Manager Lite, is there an explanation? How should I proceed?

On another subject, if I create a project in Business Manager Lite before creating the project in Studio, I get 2 projects for the same job, even if I add the path to the Studio project aftewards. Is there a way to avoid this without changing everything manually?  I would like to be able to enter the general information about the project in a first step and then create the Studio project later, and not proceed the other way around.
