{Email} doesn't work as a username format for a Website
The entry type of "Website" has a Username Format option of "{Email}". The entry does not have an Email box. Adding Email as a Custom Field doesn't appear to work. I tried creating an entry type of Contact, which does have an Email box, as well as Username, Domain and Password. and making the Website entry a sub-entry of the Contact entry, then setting credentials to Inherited. This produces an empty username.
I want a single entry for my domain credentials, then a way to use it formatted as domain/username when something wants it that way and username@fqdn.com.blah when something wants it formatted that way. How do I make it work?

Hello,
I'm not sure if the email option there is intended. I've open a bug and we will take a good look at it.
Have a good day!

Thanks, but I really do need to be able to use Email (sometimes) as a login name somehow. Your user@domain format option doesn't work when the internal domain is just "office" or "office.local", while something else that has a synced password is needing user@real.external.email.address. As we move from LP to Password Hub we're trying really hard to not have any instances of multiple entries for the same credentials, as there's the high risk that if the password changes only one entry will get updated.
Does email get inherited anywhere? Could I have a master record with username, password, domain and email, then ANY sub-entry where I can inherit the email and the password and set the username format to email?
Hello,
I believe email can be inherited from linked credentials, but as it stands the property is missing from the web and only visible in RDM. With that being said, we need to take a good look at this because something seem off. It might be a side effect from deprecating the previous website entry. We will keep you updated.
Have a good day!
