Consistent behaviour on clicking a listed item in vault

Just wanted to add one more user’s voice to this conversation. I just opened a support ticket 2 days ago to try to formally complain about the new change in Version 2026.4.1, that users cannot alter the setting on what clicking an Autofill Suggestion Item does, either to View or Fill. I have no idea why the Bitwarden team made this change, seemingly on purpose, as I feel taking away customization options that were already implemented into a software is almost always a bad idea. From reading the above posts/replies by more informed users, it seems like the code to revert this change would not be much work on behalf of the Bitwarden team. I don’t know enough about coding to have an informed opinion, but if that is true and honestly even if it isn’t easy, I sincerely hope the Bitwarden team reconsiders the philosophy they might have of “simplifying” the software/browser extension and adopts a different philosophy of clean design but retaining user customization.

Please reconsider re-adding the setting “Click items in autofill suggestion to fill” or add a different setting for “Click items in autofill suggestion to view” if the Bitwarden team would like to keep the default as clicking autofill suggestion items to fill.
