Description

What version of Keepass2Android are you using? 1.14-r0

Hi,

I've tried to find the information on my own, but I was unable to. I hope I didn't ask a question already asked.

In my Keepass file, created with Keepass for Windows, there are a few entries where I keep all the information in the 'note' field, leaving 'username' and 'password' empty. However, when I open my file, and one of those entries in particular, on Keepass2Android, the app reads the information from the 'note' field and adds it to the 'username' or 'password' fields.

Is there a way to disable this feature?

Thanks in advance

Research direction

No source files or tests are named. Start by reproducing the note-field behavior in Keepass2Android 1.14-r0 and trace the entry-loading path, then check the discussion for whether a user setting controls it. Done is a documented answer or a narrowly scoped change with verification, but the issue does not define a target file or test.
