Passbolt 5.3 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 will be available in a blog post that will be published soon. The encrypted‑metadata feature is scheduled to be marked as stable in Passbolt 5.4, planned for August 2025. As part of our continuous performance work, this release concentrates on folder browsing. Loading folders and their resources is now faster and reduces the load on API and client, improving day-to-day usability for organizations having thousands of credentials under management. 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. For a complete list of changes, consult the changelog. Added
