#939 Option to use the dragbar to paste a selected Custom Value of an entry

[MrMe]

Password Safe v3.71 introduced a custom fields feature allowing user-defined Name and Value to be added to each entry. The only method currently supported for using the custom Value is to edit the entry and copy the Value while on the edit entry screen.

The option to use the dragbar for a Custom Value of an entry is desirable. This FR is for a new icon added to the dragbar that can be used to paste a Custom value of the current entry and the means on the dragbar row for the user to set the Custom Value of the current entry that the dragbar would paste.

Interesting idea. I recently added a feature to the Linux version that allows users to copy the value of any custom field via the context menu. For this purpose, the name of each custom field appears within the context menu. How would it be possible to handle this copying via a single icon in the drag bar if multiple custom fields exist? Should only the first field be considered? In that case, there would also need to be a way to change the order of the fields. Alternatively, the field editing dialog could include an option to select a specific custom field to be targeted by the icon based copy action. This might potentially require extending the database schema to store this information. Or should there be a submenu in the dragbar with one icon for each user-defined field? Hmm.

Hi

I envision that for the current entry selected on the Nested Tree if the entry has custom name/value configured, the user would also have to select the custom name (for the corresponding value to paste) using a new dropdown (or whatever you think works best) that could be placed to the right of the dragbar, so there would be no need to go into the entry details to use dragbar to paste custom values. The user would simply select the custom name needed in the dropdown and drag the Custom Value dragbar icon ( note: only one new dragbar icon and it's disabled form is needed) to past the value. A 'copy Custom Value to Clipboard' option automagically appearing on the Edit menu (like happens now for certain fields of the current entry selected in the Nested Tree) could also operate off this same dropdown for those who prefer copy and paste without editing the entry.

If the current entry has no custom name/value configured this dropdown would appear disabled (or not shown at all and neither would a 'copy Custom Value to Clipboard' appear on the Edit menu ) and the icon on the dragbar for dragging a custom value
would also be shown in grayed out form.

I don't believe the above approach would require extending the database schema to store new information since the user must select what will be pasted using the Custom Value dragbar icon, otherwise nothing is pasted since dragging a disabled (i.e. grayed out dragbar icon doesn't do any pasting)

Makes sense?
