How to change the Category assigned to a record

Hey @mwd01, thanks for reaching out. In 1Password, each category has different required fields so it isn't possible to move items from one category to another or change the category of an item. With that said, we do have an internal feature request for the ability to change categories for items. While I can't say if or when this will be implemented, I'll be sure to add your voice to the request so our developer's can see that there is customer interest for this feature.

In the meantime, my recommendation here would be to create a new item in the desired category and copy & paste any pertinent details from the existing item to the new one, then delete the existing one.

I hope that helps!

Hi, thank you for the information. My suggestion to the development team is to change the Category attribute without changing the underlying fields (when changing the category). Having pre-built fields by category is great when creating new items, but that isn't required when changing the category. Thank you again.

I would appreciate the same as mwd01. Thank you.

Hey @mwd01 and @Naunomads, thanks for your feedback. I'll be sure to pass your comments along to our team for consideration.

Let me know if there's anything else we can help with!

i want to put it on record that i would LOVE the ability to change categories on a record. I've been using 1Password since the beginning and have been stuck with a choice i made a decade ago :)

Thanks, @Imorganis! I've included a +1 on your behalf for this feature request. 👍

I would appreciate this implementation.
Maybe making a copy of the data in a common field like notes?

This feature to be able to recategorise current entries would be much appreciated.
More than 400 entries would mean having to recreate each entry to tidy up my database.
