Auto complete the name of Additional Attributes

[rocwhite168]

Summary

Offer possible candidates to choose from when entering an Additional Attribute.

Desired Behavior

Have a drop-down menu with all currently used attribute names as the possible candidates.

Context

I often save bank PIN codes, passphrases, security questions & answers as Additional Attributes, and I want to name these as consistently as possible. Auto-completing through a drop-down menu with all currently used attribute names will come in really handy. This is one of the features I find myself really miss after having converted from the original KeePass client.

I like this idea. The way we have attributes is pretty crappy interface and needs to be overhauled in general.

I was about to open an issue that I think is essentially the same as this. Rather than do that, I was wondering if this was still being looked at/considered?

I use KeePass databases with KeePass on Windows and KeePassXC on MacOS and Linux. The ability to consistently name Additional Attributes (String Fields in KeePass) in KeePassXC by having the existing attributes show (similar to how they do in KeePass) would still be very appreciated and quite useful.
I find that if I'm not adding them in KeePass (which shows the existing fields that are used in the data base and not already on the record) than I end up with variations. Example: Birthday, DOB, Birthdate or Serial Number and SN.
I can see that there's a feature request open for search in #4696 so I'll follow that feature request for related info.

Thank you for all the work on this application!

I believe the term for this is "controlled vocabulary." I learned about it by reading Karl Voit stuff (in fact I think he wrote his thesis on related topics). To clarify, this is what is being discussed in this thread.

I have heard tools that help you manage (view, combine, add, delete to insure consistency) your tags / keys / values / whatever being referred to as "gardening" tools. Which I think is a good name (JMHO). These are not being discussed in this thread; I mention the term only for completeness.
