Actions and menu trigger multiple copies

Actions and menu trigger multiple copies

avatar

RDM v. 2022.2.12.0

When I use the Actions buttons "Copy Password" or from the submenu. it copies the username and the password 3-5 times in the same string.

Example:
Entry A
Username: myname
Password: thepass

When I click the Copy Password what gets put in the clipboard is this:

"
myname
thepass
thepass
thepass
thepass
"

This is weird.

I can't reproduce, whichever copy actions I use (Copy Username, Copy Password, Copy Host or Copy Domain), the specific value get copied only once.

Do you reproduce with all of your entries? What is the type of the entry you are reproducing this with?

Website entries they have a "legacy" label. These were imported entries from CSV that was exported from keepass. And actually I noticed with my clipboard manager. It also repeatedly copies. So I have 5 entries in my clipboard manager and sometimes it includes the OTP. However, it is not all entries. The two that it happens with are Favorites and happen to have OTP assigned to their entries.

Can you double check that the password fields is properly set by editing the entry? To me, it looks like the password field in RDM actually just contains what you see getting pasted (there's really nothing special in RDM that would fill the clipboard in that way). I've tested with a Website (legacy) and have had no issue (even with an OTP configured, with "Append to password" for instance).

I confirmed from what i could see the information was correct.

However, it appears this had to do with that failed import of the csv. I had 2 entries of course, which are my most used experienced this issue. Also I noticed only those 2 entries wouldn't show up in the browser extension. I created new entries and moved it into that new entry. And it seems to have resolved both issues (errant copying and not showing the browser extension).

For your last point, the (Legacy) Website entry was migrated a couple of weeks back. Most likely the browser extension does not support it anymore, hence why it just wouldn't appear.

I figured out what is causing this. It turns out this because of the CSV import I did of my entries.😕 Any entry I imported with that method I have discovered has this problem. So whatever happened from that failed import I tried messed up something in those entries. Even though entry looks fine when you open it and confirm the fields. When you try to use the copy actions they don't work properly. I get the behavoir described above.

This is most likely because what was exported for that CSV were of the (Legacy) Website entry type. And since you imported it after the migration was already done in your data source, you were stuck with "unsupported entries". When and from what was that CSV imported from? Is it something you can get back but after the migration was applied?

yes, it was exported from keepass database, which I still have a copy of the encrypted database. Devolution's support did ask for sanitized version of the CSV I used. However, I just haven't had time to re-visit this. Most likely I will remove all the entries as every entry in my Devolution's vault is from the import. I just plan to re-add all my entries manually.

Hmmm... Actually, if it did this while importing from a third party, this might very well be a bug with RDM.

We'll investigate.

Hi georgesnow,

To help us investigate, could you describe the exact steps you followed to import your CSV?
