Wow. I don't know who thought this was a good idea to remove the ability to move fields around in v8 but... This is a HUGE necessity... Please add that capability back into the app. 1Password Version: 8.8.0 Extension Version: Not Provided OS Version: macOS 12.5 (21G72) Browser:_ Not Provided Referrer: forum-search:https://1password.community/search?Search=1Password%20for%20Mac%208.8.0%20unable%20to%20move%20fields%20around

Hi 1Password, Hope you are well. I am not sure whether or not this is the best place to put a feature request but I saw another person put one here so thought I would. I have a really crucial feature request that is really important to me and a lot of other people. Something that worked fine and existed in V7 but not in V8. I and many others store A LOT of information in 1Password. Some login objects contain dozens of sections and fields. Especially my server objects. I am still running V7 because V8 has removed the ability to move sections and fields up and down. This is absolutely critical when it comes to organisation and management of the information contained within the product and objects. Both for personal and business users. I have used 1Password since it was a perpetual purchase on iOS. Many, many, many years. I currently have 923 objects inside my personal vault. However, this feature is so important to me that I will have no choice but to move away from 1Password to a different product if V8 doesn't introduce it. I am a self employed IT Systems Engineer / MSP. I recommend & procure products like 1Password to many of my customers. But currently, I can't recommend the 1Password product given V8. I have just finished a contract for a company called [removed by moderator per request]. You will be able to see on your systems that we had a Business Trial with yourselves but chose not to go ahead. This issue with the section and field movement is a big reason why we couldn't go ahead. We were worried once V7 was depreciated completely that we would be stuck with V8 and have no ability to organise our data contained within the product. It would take me months and months to migrate my 1Password data to someone else such as Keeper so I really, really do not want to do this but I will have no choice if section and field movement isn't reintroduced into V8. It feels like V8 has prioritised aesthetics and minimalism over functionality. The V8 product looks amazing, it really does, but is currently unusable to me and so many others. I really, really hope you will pass this request onto the relevant teams. I passed this information onto our Business Account Manager with yourselves during the trial but we didn't hear anything back. I also emailed this same feedback to your support team some time ago who said they had passed it onto the relevant people. I also didn't hear anything back from them. All the best, Joel Wraight

Hi @joel_wraight I appreciate your passion for 1Password, and your desire to use it to organize your secure data. Re-ordering custom fields/sections is on our roadmap to reimplement in 1Password 8, but we don't have an ETA.

The new field in the section is only appended to the bottom of the list. I don't see an option for reordering but I see past posts that mentioned the feature has been added. 1Password Version: 8.7.0 Extension Version: 8.7.0 OS Version: 12.3.1

Hi @gasses_bird, we don't currently have a feature to re-order fields in 1Password 8, but this is a popular request and one we are now working on. I have just put in a vote on your behalf - thank you for letting us know that this is something you find useful! ref: IDEA-I-372

Thank you. I am looking forward to the feature being added.

Thanks for the update, @bthoma! Indeed, we've been working hard to bring this functionality to 1Password 8. I've shared your comments with the team assigned to this project. Hopefully we'll be able to deliver on website field re-ordering soon as well. 🤞🏻

So, I just tried this out and it works great! I can drag fields between sections, within sections, and drag & drop to move sections, keeping their associated fields with them while they move. Totally the expected functionality and what was available in 1Password 7.

I will say it's a bit odd that "website" is locked and you can't move a section above it, but I kind of get why. Either way, this flexibility makes 1Password so much more user-friendly (again!).

Thank you!

Thanks for sharing that here, ikjadoon.

Please can you also remove the company name I stated in my original post. Maybe **** it out or something. Thanks.

Oh, your timing is nearly impeccable, OP, and you have seriously waited too long. I just started using 1P a month ago, and man, being unable to re-order fields is really a loss, especially with the massive variety of items.

The good news, I hope: On 11 Jan, 1P empoloyee @MrRooni posted a demo, noting the reorder fields feature is nearly done.

The comment text:

Hey folks 🙂 Thanks for all the feedback and messages here. We've been working on adding the ability to reorder for a little bit now and while we still need to do some final code review before it becomes available for testing, I think I can share a preview here. Enjoy!

Hi 1P,

I started this thread many months ago now. I believe I have been very patient. As one person said further up, it's not really a feature request as it was a 'core' feature of a previous major version. If anything, V8 should not have been released until this was part of it. It is taking away core functionality and labelling re-implementation as a 'feature request'.

I, along with many people I know are very close to stopping using the product because of it. In 2023, there is all sorts of information that sits alongside a credential. All sorts of 'MFA recovery keys', all sorts of 'API keys' etc. etc. All of said information needs to be inside 1 object. The fact that these fields and sections can't be organised at all inside an object, more than a year after mainstream release is beyond shocking. I 'want' to start using V8, although I don't like some of the UX / UI design compared to V7, it 'has' however got a lot of improvements in terms of speed, reliability and so on. Here I am, 14 months after the release of V8 and I'm still stuck using V7. Which I might add, has a lot of issues in its own right. Especially when I’m forced to use V8 on mobile.

I understand 1P has taken a 'information close to your chest' stance on feature requests being implemented when it comes to dates and rollouts. However, this post / specific feature request is now many months old. Please, please provide more information than you currently have. If you are unable to provide a date or at least a rough date for this feature, I will be forced to leave 1Password and start using Keeper instead. Regardless of how large the migration job is. I will also have to start recommending the businesses and individuals I support (as an IT MSP / consultant) do the same.

This is very sad as I've used 1Password since its release many years ago, since it was a standalone app on iOS.

Please can you also remove the company name I stated in my original post. Maybe **** it out or something. Thanks.

I've merged two related threads together so that we can make sure that everyone is updated at the same time. 🙂

We tend to play things pretty close to the chest regarding features and updates in order to avoid disappointing folks if unexpected delays happen. My colleagues and I on the support team aren't able to share release dates. However, as soon as this feature is released we'll make sure to update this thread.

Thank you again for sharing how vital this feature is to your workflows.

If their lack of movement on the Face ID/Touch ID issues is any indication, you probably won't see this for quite awhile. Nor will you get any helpful updates.
