Keepass2android: Use an attribute of an entry to assign to app rather than url
Currently, if you try to use the feature that automatically searches for an entry via app name (com.etc.etc), it updates and searches on the entries' url field. I would like to see that moved to a different property (one of the custom fields), i.e, "androidAppId".

I very much agree. I have many entries that need an app id as well as a valid web url for use on my pc. KeePass on my pc will not care about nor need access to a custom field (i suggest mobileAppId to be inclusive of other OSs) but my pc does need the web url. As it is now i need two entries, one for mobile and one for pc. On startup move all url entries that start with "com." to the new custom field to make a seamless transition. Thank you for your work!

In the desktop app, on the advanced tab for an entry, if you create a string field with the value of the android app name (e.g. com.whatever) and a suitable field name for your purposes, this creates the necessary knitting. Having the Android app itself be configurable (or use a sensible default like keepass2android) as to where these URLs get saved in the DB instead of the default URL field would certainly be useful though.
