That's the system.. as I understand it in most jurisdictions an invoice is a legal document that is not supposed to be changed ...
the theory being if you want to change the invoice then a new one should be issued ..
I think this is what happens when u change any product, price etc

I have just update from 3.0.16 to the latest version. In the old version the pdf wil be overwritten when i change the date to delivery. When I change the date to the actually delivery date and I confirm the customer than it has to be the actualy delivery date, not "same a invoice date". Otherwise the deliverydate field is not necessary.

The invoicenumber is still the same.  Some times the customer has made a fault in the adresses or email adresses then i have to change that.
