Entering multiline text in a text field
It seems that I can't enter multi-line text in a text field (in the way way that I can in the Notes field). Is there a good reason for this? It's severely limiting my use of 1Password. I can enter mu...

Hi 1P_PeterG
Can you tell me a little more about this? While respecting your privacy (and of course the fact that this is a public forum) I'd love to know in what way the current setup is holding you back. Maybe there's another way to meet your needs, or alternately a feature request we can put in to the developers if the app can't currently do what you need. What's the benefit of multi-line text in the text field for you? Is that needed for something a Secure Note can't do well?
I have various logins for my online bank accounts and in those logins as stored in 1Password, I have things such as password and passcode from which I have to provide the nth character and nth digit, so they're stored in the notes field along along with a separate passcode for accessing the banking app. I wanted to add my full bank account details (account name and number, sort-code, branch address, IBAN account number and BIC code and other info as multiline text, which I could just add to the notes field, but that's already pretty "busy" so I created a new field named Account Details, but then found that I couldn't paste or enter multiline text into that.
Rather than just bunging all multiline text into the single Notes field of a login, it'd be better if additional notes/multiline fields could be created in order to provide some organisation of the information stored in the login item.
