Hello dgkimpton! 👋
Thanks for the feedback! I can certainly pass this along to our product team for consideration. If possible, can you tell me a little more about the sorts of information that you'd like to save in these empty items?
Have you considered using a Secure Note item? We have a blog that explores the versatility of this type of item here: Making the most of Secure Notes
You can add any custom field to a Secure Note. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Dave,
Secure Notes are indeed where I ended up. I'm storing things like access-keys, certificate data, and secrets for reading out via the CLI.

So, I'm afraid to say, mostly user error here.
Thanks for the response!
