Custom Template Encoding?

tkeeler

I'm using the op tool to get a custom template and the json response appears to be encoded. Is this expected, and if so what is the best way to decode it? Here's an example:

> op get template MyTemplate
{"notesPlain":"","passwordHistory":[],"sections":[{"fields":[{"k":"string","n":"ajo2aydubilfut22zujmyxjkcy","t":"","v":""}],"name":"gtm3wc6jvivxa6r6q3mbvdbeni","title":""}]}

This does not appear to be the case for the built-in templates:

> op get template login
{"fields":[{"designation":"username","name":"username","type":"T","value":""},{"designation":"password","name":"password","type":"P","value":""}],"notesPlain":"","passwordHistory":[],"sections":[]}

Hey @tkeeler ,

Perhaps you'll find this post helpful: https://1password.community/discussion/comment/588416/#Comment_588416
As you can see from the example command there, you do need to tell the CLI to encode the items.

Let me know if that helped.

Thanks, I did come across this when I was originally searching for an answer. It doesn't directly help, but it does help me understand the key/value structure a bit more.

I believe the issue is creating a custom template on the 1Password site. It appears the n value gets set to a random ID and the t value doesn't get set properly. In my template the field name is set to 'Testing' but it doesn't appear in my op get template MyTemplate response. I'm assuming this is a bug?

Is there another method to create a template?

Hey @tkeeler ,
Sorry for the delay, we’re looking into this.

There does seem to be some difference in the frontend UI templates that the CLI doesn’t know/expect.

I’ll let you know as soon as I have more info.

Hey @tkeeler ,
We found the issue, it is definitely on our side.

We have filed it internally so our developers can fix this in a future update.

Thank you for reporting this!
