Imported nested folders from keepassx are wrong

[MartinX3]

Steps To Reproduce

Export KeepassX as CSV Import via webinterface

Expected Result

A folder for each database and their content as subfolders

Actual Result

Randomly either I have subfolders or folders with the name

• A/B/C
• A/B/Y
• A/X

Screenshots or Videos

Additional Context

I imported 2 keepassXC DB's Their folderstructure is:

• DB-Name
  • A
    • A
    • B
  • B
    • A
    • B etc.

I get either nested folders or folders with the name

• A/A
• A/B

It seems, that somehow the import not always creates a parent folder to enable the nested folder feature. Maybe if a folder only contains sub-folders. But such folders to organize a password safe are important.

Had the same issue with LastPass; I'm pretty sure it's not specific to KeePassXC, though it may be specific to CSV.

I agree that the bug only occurs if folders are imported which do not contain passwords themselves, but only sub-folders.

Here's how the behavior looked in LastPass (exported as .csv via LastPass Vault extension on desktop Mozilla Firefox, then imported in Bitwarden Web Vault):

---

The problem: If you import a LastPass vault (csv file), and the vault contains a folder A with subfolders A1 and A2 but no passwords directly inside, then Bitwarden will incorrectly import these folders.

Example folder structure from LastPass: A [contains sub-folders but no passwords] A1 [subfolder of A, contains passwords] A2 [subfolder of A, contains passwords]

Resulting imported folder structure in Bitwarden: "A/A1" "A/A2" In other words, the folder A is not created, and instead the imported subfolders have been renamed.

Note that once one then manually creates the folder A in Bitwarden, then this folder structure once again correctly becomes: A A1 A2

---

-> So the suggested fix is simple: If Bitwarden imports a folder which contains sub-folders but no passwords, it should nonetheless create this folder.
