How do you change the type of an existing field on an item in 1Password 8?

Vote added for you, @hstenzel. Thank you! 🙌

I also support this. Just wanted to improve my security by changing a bunch of text fields to password fields so that the content can be hidden, but found out that it is no longer possible..

Hi @danito, we appreciate your support of this feature request and I've cast a vote on your behalf. Thanks!

Hi, is there a tentative date to have this feature enabled?

Hello @GDIAZJ,

Thanks for your follow up here about the ability to change the field type in 1Password 8. I'm unable to make any promises about when or if this feature will make a return. I have no other news to share, but I've added you feedback to the issue we're tracking with the team.

Let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Please bring back this feature... it's so frustrating to be punished for paying for the new version.

Thanks for your feedback, @dc111 - I've let the team know that you're looking to see this feature make a return to 1Password 8.

While it is currently possible to change the type of a field in 1P on the web, it is not very practical.
Please add my vote for this feature in the desktop and mobile clients.

Hi @OlivierP, thanks for adding your vote here! I've passed your feedback along to the team as well 😄

It is now over 6 months later in June 11th 2023 and changing existing field types is STILL not possible with latest 1PW v8.10.7 for Mac

Combined with the changes for the global search I find 1PW8 to be a big step backwards!

When are you actually bringing back the previous field type change ability???
