KeePassXC app AutoType feature is not available/visible after upgrading from 16.3 Pro to 17.1 Pro
Welcome to the Forum!
Do you use Z17 with Wayland? If yes, You could try if it works on X11. To change that go to the Login Screen. when you click on your Profile Picture and the Password Field appears You can see in the bottom right Corner a Gear Symbol. Click on it and change to X.
Another Thing would be to reinstall the Program if it is possible. Or You look if You can get a newer Version from the Developer.

KeePassXC AutoType does not work with Wayland.
To switch into Xorg follow the steps above by @Ponce-De-Leon, but just to clarify something: you need to first login to your user account and then logout, to be able to see this button (here, "Zorin Desktop" means using Wayland).
If you prefer to continue using Wayland you can also install the KeePassXC browser extension and enable integration. But note that this only works for browsers and will not work with other windows.
My mistake, I meant the AutoType feature.
According to the Flathub website the most recent version is 2.7.7, so expect an update being available soon. That maybe what it means.
Apparently this is because the metadata for version 2.7.7 has the wrong date, which is probably causing the Software Store to show the latest as 2.7.6 still

I can't take credit for it, somebody else mentioned it in the Matrix chat 
As for the issue at hand, unfortunately there's nothing to do. In the words of one of the developers: "Autotype is not supported on Wayland". The only workaround would be to use the browser extensions but of course that would only help with those browsers, not other windows that may need it.
Thank you.
Switching to "Zorin Desktop on Xorg" (X11 Windowing System) fixes the "auto-type" feature on 17.1 Pro. Apparently, the "auto-type" feature is not compatible with default "Zorin Desktop" (Wayland Windowing System).
See "Settings | About | Windowing System" to see what "Windowing System" your using.
To change "Windowing Systems" on 17.1 Pro, click on the Cog wheel on the lower right of the "Login" display.
