Re-ordering Sections and Single Fields

I have a login item with single fields and sections with fields.
When I try to re-order a single field and move it above the sections but it won't let me. I am able to move it into one of the sections or leave it at the bottom.

In the example below I'm trying to move the other_field above SECTION1 but it won't let me. Is this a feature or a bug?

e.g.

---
username
abc

password
xyz
---

website
https://somesite.com

SECTION1
    s1_field1
    qwerty

    s1_field2
    1234

SECTION2
    s2_field1
    9876

other_field
value

  • Hi there @meckert75

    This looks like expected behaviour to me. Fields that aren't in a section will always come after sections.

    The basic "hierarchy" of an item is:

    1. Anchored fields (such as Username, Password, and Website in a Login item) that can't be deleted or rearranged
    2. Custom sections and their fields
    3. Custom "orphan" fields without a parent section

    If you don't name a section, it won't show a header, so that might help serve as a workaround in your case – maybe create an unnamed section, move other_field into it, then move that new unnamed section above SECTION1.

    I hope that explains things fully, but please do let me know if I can be of any further help. :)
