Custom fields for notes
The "notes" feature is currently a single text field. This isn't very useful without custom fields which you can selectively copy/paste unless you're aiming to replace desktop notes.
Bitwarden offers a similar "note" type which is essentially a generic type which you can use for anything but it has custom fields. Want to create a record for your vehicles which contains license plate, VIN, and other data you might need on the fly? Supported. With this simple feature Bitwarden was able to support all of the specific record types offered by other password managers.

Without this essential feature I won't be able to switch from Bitwarden

If I import from Bitwarden, I lose all custom fields in my notes.
Would completely switch if this wasn't a problem.
I want to use ProtonPass for the fast and snappy native app, but if Bitwarden releases their native Kotlin rewrite first then I lose all reason to switch.

Yo can use two different approach to can store a lot of data type. One, doing the same as 1Password, defining a lot of data types. I think that this way is very confusing. The second one it's make existing types more flexible. This post goes by the second one way ;-)

Please, this would be great. It's something that Bitwarden do and make it more flexible becasue you can save a lot of data types, for example server o database credentials.

To enhance the functionality of the "notes" feature and provide users with more flexibility, we can implement a solution that introduces custom fields for each note in addition to the existing single text field. This way, users can tailor their notes to specific types of information, such as creating a record for their vehicles with fields for license plate, VIN, and other relevant data.

Agree, ability to create notes as "generic" item with custom fields, as we have them in login item would be amazing. It can really simplify transferring of entities like passports, Wi-Fi and API credentials and others from 1password, because then you can replicate necessary structure. If those items would be imported as notes with custom fields - that would be even better, but personally I am fine with manually transferring them, because I do not have a lot of those.
In the same sense, I think having custom fields for cards would be good too. Probably a rare thing, but I had some notes for cards in 1password that were split into several fields, and in ProtonPass I needed to concatenate them into "Note" field.
