I would love to see this one implemented in a future release since I find using field references in my database to be beneficial and simplifies maintenance when you have multiple sub accounts that link to the same master account.

It would be very helpful to have this feature implemented so I don’t have to flip between the entry that contains the URL, account information, and field reference value with the entry that contains the master password referred to in the field reference. Thank you!

Hey Mark. Any update on where this feature sits on your road map?

Hi @shad0whawk, hoping I'll get it in in the next 3 or 4 weeks

[shad0whawk]

That would be awesome to include that feature. Thanks!

Hi @shad0whawk, this should be working for you now on iOS with version 1.26.0. Keeping ticket open for Mac work...

Thanks! It works great for the existing field references I have in my database. I appreciate your effort and time implementing this useful feature.

I’m assuming the ability to create them in Strongbox is probably out of scope for this request unless you know the syntax and UUID of the referenced entry.

Yes I think so, it's a sort of advanced feature, so I'd expect users to be able to manage this themselves. The UUID is important to expose but that's already requested in #86

Mac 1.7.0 now supports Field References and PlaceHolders
