"Password History" cannot be viewed for Secure Notes, Cards, or Identities

[bwbug]

Steps To Reproduce

1. Create a custom field of the Hidden type within a Secure Note, Card, or Identity item, and assign a non-empty value to the hidden field.
2. Save the vault item.
3. Edit the vault item to modify the value of the hidden field.
4. Save the vault item.
5. View the item using the Desktop app (2024.12.1 or earlier) or an older browser extension (2024.11.2 or earlier), to confirm that the original value of the hidden field is preserved in the "password history".
6. Use the new browser extension (2024.12.4) to open the vault item, and scroll down to the Item History section at the bottom.

Expected Result

Expect to see a link to the password history, and upon clicking the link, seeing the original value of the modified hidden field.

Actual Result

The Item History section does not contain any link to the password history, nor does the UI provide any other method available for viewing previous values of hidden fields.

Issue Tracking Info

• I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.
