I hope you are doing well.
I have been using Bitwarden Password Manager Premium Subscription since 05 Years and truly appreciate its security, simplicity, and reliability. However, I would like to suggest an improvement regarding the custom fields available for stored items.
Currently, Bitwarden provides four types of custom fields: Text, Hidden, Check Box, and Linked. While these fields serve basic purposes, they are quite limited in terms of flexibility. To enhance usability and accommodate more diverse data types, I believe it would be beneficial to introduce additional custom fields such as:
URL – To store website links efficiently.
Email – A designated field for email addresses.
Date – For storing specific dates (e.g., expiry dates, account creation dates).
Month & Year – Useful for tracking credit card validity or subscription periods.
Phone Number – A dedicated field for storing phone numbers.
These enhancements would greatly improve the organization and management of sensitive information within Bitwarden. I believe this addition would add significant value to users who rely on Bitwarden for storing and securing various types of data.
I would appreciate your consideration of this request and look forward to hearing your thoughts on the feasibility of implementing these features in future updates.
Thank you for your time and for continuously improving Bitwarden.

Unless there is some specific functionality that you wish to be associated with these fields, there is no reason why all of the data types that you have listed couldn’t be stored in a regular Text field, as shown in the screenshot below:
Having dedicated custom field options for these data types would not add much benefit, unless there was some specific function or feature unique to each custom field type (such as the ability to control visibility of Hidden fields). If you have some ideas along these lines, you could summarize them, and post an official Feature Request in the appropriate section of the forum.
However, perhaps what you are looking for would be satisfied by what has been previously proposed in one of the following feature request topic:
Once you’ve spent a little more time on the forum, you will be able to vote for those feature request (or others).
