Problem with Snippet text formatting

For me, Snippets have been a great addition to 1Password, and I have about 50 of them I use all the time. But there is a problem in formatting the Snippet text, and I can't figure out a way around it. Most of my Snippets use Formatted Text because I need to add hyperlinks, etc., but I can't place text in single lines (a soft break instead of a hard break) when "Formatted" is selected. Things like addresses, etc., should be in a single line format, but this is impossible in the Snippet Editor. Here's an example.

Test Snippet Name

Company Name

Street Address

City,  ST Zip

Ideally, the Company Name, Street Address and City, ST Zip would be single-spaced, but this is not possible when using the "Formatted" text option. Is there a workaround to this (Markdown doesn't work), and is there a resolution planned? Thanks!

Hello @LarryMcJ! 👋

Thank you for helping us test the experimental Secure Snippets feature! Can you share a few more details regarding your request so that I can better understand the feedback and suggest possible workarounds? Specifically, are you able to share screenshots of how the snippet expands now and how you would like to see the snippet expand in an app like TextEdit? 

I look forward to hearing from you.

When I copy an address as the one below, then paste it into a Snippet that is plain text, there is no problem. 

Business Name
123 Street Name
Anytown, NY,12345
 business name @ anytown.com

But if I add formatting to the Snippet so the URL is hyperlinked,  it displays as below, and the extraneous line can't be removed.

Business Name

123 Street Name

Anytown, NY,12345

 business name @ anytown.com

Thank you for clarifying and I'm sorry for the delay in responding. In a snippet that uses formatted text, use Shift-Enter to enter a new line rather than Enter. That will allow you to avoid the extra line break:


Let me know if that doesn't help.
