Generalize entries to allow new Sections, longform Notes, and filtering for all entry types
"Other" entries (including "Start from scratch" as well as premades such as "API Credential", "Medical Record", "Passport", etc.) are fully customizable by allowing new Sections, Fields, and a longform Note field. This is great! My requests are to (1) make the other "non-Other" entry types equally flexible and unify the implementation of all entry types, and (2) make custom entries first-class along with the traditional legacy entry types.
Specific issues:
"Login", "Card", and "Note" entries don't allow new Sections.
"Identity" entries don't include a longform Note field. (It's possible to replicate a Note field by adding a Text field to a Section, but raditional Note fields aren't associated with a Section, or perhaps it's attached to an unnamed section (which users aren't allowed to create).
"Other" custom entries all use the same crescent-wrench icon, rather than the icons presented when they're created via +Create item > Other. For example, if I create a Bank Account entry, the option originally shows an icon of a bank, but it's then replaced by a generic icon of a wrench.
The list of entries can be filtered by "Logins", "Aliases", "Cards", "Notes", and "Identities", but not the other entry types such as "API Credential", "Software license", "WiFi network", "Bank Account", "Membership", "Reward Program", etc.
My specific feature requests:
Allow new Sections to be added to "Login", "Card", and "Note" entries. Probably every one of my entries in 1Password includes custom Sections because it enables me to cleanly organize additional information and not get them mixed up: security phrases, account decovery details, phone numbers, secondary usernames/passwords if the account has other login options such as ssh, smtp, etc., and so forth.
Add a longform Note field to the Identity entry type. I use this to add all sorts of details like place of birth, family, medical, citizenship, ... any longform details. All other entry types include a longform Note field, it's odd that Identify is the only entry type that's missing it, and it's super-useful.
Use the icons presented in +Create entry > Other, rather than a generic wrench icon.
For extra credit, it'd be great if you allowed the user to create their own new "Other" templates, along with it's own custom icon. This isn't a critical feature, I've never needed this in 1Password since they already include every entry type I need, but if you did this, it would be a step above and beyond what 1Password supports.
Allow filtering by all entry types, including "API Credential", "Software license", "WiFi network", "Bank Account", "Membership", "Reward Program", etc. In other words, convert each of the pre-defined "Other" templates first-class entry types that support the same features as "Login", "Card", "Note", and "Identity".
Generalizing your implementation to treat all entry types as first-class not only makes Proton Pass more flexible and powerful but hopefully also simplifies your code base by eliminating one-off differences that may be coded into your different entry types. This flexibility is extremely useful and very much missed when transitionning from 1Password to Proton Pass.
Thank you for your consideration. :-)
