Question

How to change the Category assigned to a record

I like the way 1Password has expanded the Categories available. I also like that when setting up new records, one can choose and existing Category "template". To make using easier, I'd like to change the Category for an existing record from one Category to another without changing the data structure that exists. Is that possible please?

Hi @greggsewell1, thanks for checking back in with us about this! I don't have any news I'm able to share about this feature just yet. However I can definitely understand where you're coming from, and I've added a note including what you've said here to your +1 for our Product team to see when considering and prioritising upcoming changes and new features.

I agree with everyone. I am a software engineer and this change is not difficult as long as you don't get buried in self inflicted requirements. Also, keep it simple, you really don't have to have maps and all that crap. I just converted 6 records by hand and the whole time I am thinking, "If they could change the category and bring in the new labels, I could do the rest. If your curious how, and if you have a software engineer, shoot me an email and I will tell you how.

Hi. I'm not going to repeat all that's already been said, except that, although being a newcomer to this 1Password community, I am too very interested in this category change feature. It would be simply great.

I just moved from LastPass and I'm surprised that some of these basic things (e.g. change categories, tag order) are missing from 1P. I've only been using 1P for about a week and haven't had a lot of time to play with it, but I'm afraid of what other missing features I'm going to run across.

@1P_Gem, @1P_Dave, and the rest of the support team, I don’t envy your position. It seems to me you’re tasked with making sure community members feel heard, but with no response from your Product Team, I for one don’t feel heard at all.

I certainly don’t expect your software developers to “sit up and take notice,” if you will, because a few 1Password users ask for a feature. That’s not reasonable.

It’s just as unreasonable, though, for silence to be the only response.

If the Product Team feels the concerns expressed in this thread don’t need to be on your roadmap, then please tell us that. We’re all big enough people to deal with such a decision. But saying nothing—well, no one likes being ignored.

I mean no disrespect to you, @1P_Gem and @1P_Dave. But being told nothing but “we hear you” and “we’ll let the Product Team know”—to be honest, it’s beginning to feel disrespectful to me, and perhaps to other community members.

Please tell your Product Team that we’d all like to know if they ever plan to work on our feature request or not.

As a small child, I learned early on that, when my dad said, “We’ll see,” it most likely meant no.

Please don’t treat us like children who don’t deserve a reasonable explanation.

I apologize for the rant, but I’m pretty frustrated right now.

The team doesn't have any news to share about this feature request. We tend to play things pretty close to the chest since we don't want to promise new features only to frustrate folks when those features are delayed or cancelled.

Hopefully I'm able to share more in the future. For the time being, I'll continue to push for this feature internally. 🙂

+1 from me too for this, along with a way to bulk select all the ones you want to change in one go!
