Windows passbolt 2.2.0 adds custom fields, one of the five most‑requested features from the community. Built on top of encrypted‑metadata introduced earlier this year, custom fields let users attach additional key‑value pairs to a resource or as a standalone one. Typical use‑cases include centralising CI/CD job variables and storing environment‑specific configuration values that need more structure than a general note.
Custom fields rely on encrypted metadata, therefore the feature is still in beta and is not yet available on Passbolt Cloud. A step‑by‑step guide on how to enable the encrypted metadata on a self‑hosted instance is available here. The encrypted‑metadata feature is scheduled to be marked as stable in Passbolt 5.4, planned for August 2025.
Several bugs reported by the community have also been fixed. As always, thank you to everyone who took the time to file issues, test patches and suggest improvements.
