I was also hoping that I would be able to do this myself. I was thinking that essentially I would like an implementation of the “Hidden” field where the item is hidden from view by default but can be easily toggled like a hidden field but where it’s a multi-line note. A good example where I would like this done would be where I need to record my 2fa backup codes as I would typically store those in the notes field but if I need to copy a password from the desktop client, it would be easy to accidentally expose my 2fa recovery codes if I am screen sharing.

This is exactly why I need it too. I’m currently having to store them as “Notes” in the login entry and it is always visible. I can’t enter them in single line custom field. A multiline custom field would be the ideal solution.

I was actually thinking about this and maybe the easiest solution would be an option to hide the Notes field (preserving new lines but not line lengths)… which would be nice

I prefer multi-line custom fields over an option to hide the Notes field.

I’d like to store several multi-line hidden fields in a single Item and use the same copy/auto-minimize/paste UI workflow available today with custom fields.

Interestingly this still does not exist. Would be great for restoring recovery keys as well, for example. Please implement!

Really, this is a much needed improvement.
A multiline text type for custom fields seems like a no-brainer.

As an use case, I can provide this:
ZeroOmega (a proxy configuration browser extension) syncs its settings using an online Gist, but it requires the Gist’s URL and a token to manage it. Since I already have a login item for GitHub in Bitwarden, I thought that the most logical place to save this information is in the existing item. I do not like to dump all the item’s additional information into the “Additional info” notes field, since it becomes overcrowded, so I resorted to “Custom fields”. However, I had to create two custom fields, when one field would be ideal because the two pieces of information are related.
