Incompatibility with pykeepass

[aivanovski]

Started as this issue aivanovski/keepassvault#240, there are links to other issues inside, but I'm not sure if they provide some clarity.

It looks like there is some incompatibility with pykeepass library and after any field was inserted into database created by kotpass, kotpass interprets that fields as EntryValue.Encrypted. Before modification only password field was EntryValue.Encrypted.

Here are steps to reproduce:
1 - Create new database with kotpass (KeePassDatabase.Ver4x.create all default parameters), check that target field is EntryValue.Plain (use field notes, url, username)
2 - Modify target field with pykeepass
3 - Open database with kotpass, check the type of target field
Actuals result: target field is EntryValue.Encrypted
Expected result: target field is EntryValue.Plain

Python code for step 2:

from pykeepass import PyKeePass

kp = PyKeePass('test.kdbx', password='abc123')

entry = kp.root_group.entries[0]
entry.notes = "Notes from pykeepass"

kp.save()

And database file, password is abc123:
test.kdbx.zip

Hello,

could you please post KDBX file produced by PyKeePass?

This turned out to be a pykeepass problem, this issue was fixed in libkeepass/pykeepass#381
Will be available in pykepass > 4.0.7
