Thank you developers for adding custom fields to Password Safe. I appreciate your efforts.

v3.71.0 final came out today before I could finish testing v3.71.0pre, so I finished up my testing using the released v3.71.0.

I have a recommendation and a couple of small usability with custom fields in v3.71.0

  1. On the Edit Entry screen Custom fields has a Title and Value. If I select a custom field and click on Edit Title is identified as Name. Recommend for consistency using only one term, preferably Name & Value for a custom field.

  2. One the Edit Entry screen under Custom Fields, for a selected custom field row, I can click on Title or Value in the heading row. If I click on Title (which I recommend calling it Name in next update) it copies the Value in that highlighted row to the OS clipboard. If I click on Value it copies the Value to the clipboard. I expected that clicking on Title should copy the Title text and clicking Value should copy the Value.

  3. For a selected custom field row, if the value is masked (i.e. only showing as a a bunch of asterisks similar to a password field), If I click on Title or Value in the heading row what is placed in the clipboard is a bunch of asterisks. What should be copied is the actual text that is masked if Value is clicked or the title if Title is clicked on.
