{NEWPASSWORD} placeholder improvement

[sf1n4e1]

I would like to propose to add functionality to {NEWPASSWORD:/Profile/.../} by adding a new parameter that determines whether the generated password should replace the current one in the entry's password field or not. This is useful if I want to drag and drop or autotype custom string field, what contains this placeholder just to put generated string without changing password.

For example P is a new parameter, default value P=0, what means generating password with its replacement, P=1 without replacement :
{NEWPASSWORD:/#/uldA{17}/R=1/P=1/}

What do you mean "replace"?
Do you want the field value to change to a new password? If so try this method.

cheers, Paul

"replace" means that the placeholder automatically changes the entry's password after its evaluating. In some cases such behaviour is not necessary - please have a look at the screenshot above.

Each time when I drag and drop 'Generator' field value to another windows it changes password of its entry, so it also makes changes in a database too and I need to save my database every time after using such entry

[Paul]

The password only changes if you place the entry in a group that is not the one you specified in the field, which seems like what you want?

I think you have misunderstood my initial request. I just want to put randomly generated strings based on my rules without changing entry's password.

Please try to repeat my actions on the screenshot below to understand what I mean

Works fine for me if you put the NEWPASSWORD placeholder in the username field and then drag n drop from there. It also works from a custom field.

Yes, but password changes (replaces by new generated one). But I need it not to change.

The password in the KeePass entry doesn't change but the one it "drops" does. There is no way to "drop" the same password without setting a fixed value in KeePass.

The password in the KeePass entry doesn't change

No, it does. Please reopen Edit Entry dialog after drag and drop and unhide password field.

That's why I have initially requested for the new parameter in {NEWPASSWORD}
