Keepassxc: Auto-Type {CLEARFIELD} not working

[schiorean]

I want to make sure that user name and password fields are cleared. So I setup the auto-type sequence as {CLEARFIELD}{USERNAME}{TAB}{CLEARFIELD}{PASSWORD}

Expected Behavior

I expected that user name and password fields will be cleared.

Current Behavior

The fields weren't cleared, just like {CLEARFIELD} was non existent.

Possible Solution

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Set auto-type (either group or entry itself) {CLEARFIELD}{USERNAME}{TAB}{CLEARFIELD}{PASSWORD}
2. The try auto type feature

Your Environment

• KeePassXC version/commit used: 2.1.3
• Qt version (e.g. Qt 5.3): 5.8.0
• Compiler (e.g. Clang++3.6.0):
• Operating System and version: Ubuntu 16.04.2

I'm aware of this bug and I'm surprised it was never added as an Issue.
Thanks for the report

Can this also be implemented as a generic config option? (e.g., Always clear fields before autotype)

@droidmonkey Instead, you can also try to edit the root group attributes (right-click on the root group -> edit group) to set a default auto-type sequence for all entries (including the CLEARFIELD command):

As long as all entries and groups are set to inherit the auto-type behavior from parent groups this should work.

This was already fixed
