Editing or deleting items offline not possible?

[clausimausi (Claus)]

Hello,
MacOS and Bitwarden newest version (no beta).
Today I tried to edit or delete items while no internet connection (= offline).
After clicking on “Save” I got an error message „Failed to fetch“ (see also a missing translation) and no changes were made or saved. Is this a normal behavior?
Now I am online, and all works well.
Greetings,
Claus

Yes, it is normal. While offline, the clients work in a read-only mode, even if that isn’t obvious from the get-go.

(see here: Using Bitwarden Offline | Bitwarden)

… and see this Feature Request:

Offline Editing (management of writeable vault items)

When I tried to edit an entry in the desktop app without active internet connection, the app shows “An error has occurred: Failed to fetch”. So, it would be nice if desktop app allows for offline edition (make changes to the entries). These changes can later be synced once there is an active connection. This feature might not be central to browser addon or web-vault. But, I think the desktop app should have this option. Not sure whether this feature should be implemented in the mobile app too. …

Thank you for the quick answer.
Good to know.
Recommendation: It would be helpful for users to get a clear reason why it is not possible to edit the item(s) - instead of a “Failed to fetch”.
