Usage guidance for custom auto-type

[Walter Eagle]

Is there any way to indicate in the main database entry list whether an entry has a custom auto-type sequence created for it?

At present it seems I have to edit the entry, go to the auto-type tab, and then I find out.
I'd be more likely to spend the effort creating customised auto-types if I'd some way of reminding myself afterwards that it was available for a given entry.

Thanks and regards

There is no such info, but what would be the beneit ?
I create a custom sequence if I try an entry the very first time
and find out that the default Auto-type is not enough.

I have about 350 entries in my database. For some I have created a custom auto-type. For others I use the standard auto-type. For yet others the standard auto-type is not suitable but I haven't been able to successfully encode a custom sequence. When I go to a website with a complex log-in I have no way of remembering, out of these 350, whether I have previously created a working custom auto-type or not. The benefit would simply be as a reminder that one is available.
Running auto-type every time, just to see if it works, is not a good approach. If it doesn't work it wastes time, you can screw up a numbered login attempt, or you can end up with sensitive data in wrong fields.

Add a tag to entries where you have a custom Auto-Type. Change the column display to show tags (View > Configure Columns).

To find entries with custom sequences to tag is more difficult.
Select File >Export, Customizable HTML file.
Choose / name a file.
In the "Export to HTML" windows select the "Layout" tab.
Select the following fields: Details, Title, Auto-Type, UUID.
Open the export in your browser .

Unfortunately this doesn't export overridden AT, only where you have a custom target window.

cheers, Paul

Ah-ha, genius!
Thank you Paul. I hadn't considered this approach. This seems it should fit my needs.
I'm quite happy to progressively work through all my entries with custom ATs and gradually populate the tag entry over time.

Thanks again.
