Add "clone"/"copy" suffix when creating a copy of an entry

[OculiViridi]

What I'd like

Like other KeePass managers do, I'm asking to add a simple suffix like "clone" or "copy" to the name of an entry when copied.

Why

It would make the original entry distinguishable from the newly created cloned one.

Thank you for the suggestion! I'm not quite sure about the rationale, though…

As I see it, a user copying an entry either wants to 1) have an exact copy (including the title) or 2) plans to rename it. Currently, the first action is pretty much immediate; we cannot speed up the second one anyway. Automatically adding "copy" means everyone will have to rename the cloned entry. So this would hinder the first action without improving the second one.

What am I missing?

@keepassium When I was writing the suggestion I was thinking about how the same functionality is already implemented in KeePass and KeePass XC for PC! 😛

So you will know for sure that in KeePass, when you clone an entry, a popup appears asking:

• if you want to append the suffix "- clone"
• if you want to copy the history too
• if you want to replace username and password with references

Since the functionality I would be more interested in would be the second one, then at that point it will be explained why the first one would also make sense. Maybe this could be the final implementation of the clone functionality. I don't know if you may plan to do it like that... Thanks!

@OculiViridi, since there were no similar requests so far, this seems to be a rather niche case. I'm afraid this means no suffixes or popups for the time being…
