Field References
For using values of other fields inside a single entry KeePass offers Placeholders. If a value from another entry should be used, a Field Reference is needed. A reference is a string with the following format:
{REF:<WantedField>@<SearchIn>:<Text>}
The WantedField and SearchIn parts need to be replaced by 1-letter codes identifying the field:
| Code | Field |
|---|---|
T |
Title |
U |
User name |
P |
Password |
A |
URL |
N |
Notes |
I |
UUID |
O |
Other custom strings |
The Text part is the search string, i.e. this text must occur in the specified field of an entry to match.
If multiple entries match the specified search criterion, the first entry will be used. To avoid ambiguity, entries can be identified by their UUIDs, which are unique.
{REF:P@I:46C9B1FFBD4ABC4BBB260C6190BAD20C} would insert the password of the entry with the UUID 46C9B1FFBD4ABC4BBB260C6190BAD20C.
