Calculated - concatenated fields

Hi everyone,

I work primarily as a software engineer, and on a daily basis I deal with a large number of passwords, secrets, and other sensitive credentials. I've noticed that 1Password is missing a feature that I believe would be extremely useful.

For example, when I store database connection details as separate fields—such as the server address, database name, username, password, and so on—I often need to build a connection string from those values.

What I'd love to see is the ability to create a computed or templated field that references existing fields instead of duplicating their values. For example, the connection string could reference the existing username and password fields rather than containing copies of them.

This way, if the database password changes, I would only need to update it in one place. The connection string would update automatically, similar to how formulas work in Excel.

I think this would make secret management much more maintainable, reduce duplication, and help prevent configuration errors.

Hi ​@mladenjankovic, thanks for taking the time to share such a detailed suggestion!

 

I can definitely understand how having computed fields that reference other fields rather than containing copies of them would be useful, and I've filed a feature request with the team for future consideration, including all of the details you've provided here.
