Subject of the issue

When renaming a folder, all subfolders will then appear on the top level prefixed with the old parent folder and a slash.

Deployment environment

  • vaultwarden version: 1.25.2

  • Install method: Docker image (vaultwarden/server:latest)

  • Clients used: web vault and Bitwarden Linux Client

  • Reverse proxy and version: none

  • MySQL/MariaDB or PostgreSQL version: none

Steps to reproduce

Example folder structure:

  • parent
    • daughter
    • son

Rename parent to authority.

Expected behaviour

  • authority
    • daughter
    • son

Actual behaviour

  • authority
  • parent/daughter
  • parent/son

When renaming authority back to parent the previous structure is restored.

@BlackDex commented on GitHub (Aug 23, 2022):

Unfortunately that is not something we can change on the server side.
The server never receives the actual folder name, and thus there is no way for the server side to try and match this.

This should either be reported as a bug/feature request at Bitwarden it self.
Either here https://community.bitwarden.com/c/feature-requests/5 or here https://github.com/bitwarden/clients/issues
