Thanks, andrew_l_1P. Personally, I most-frequently want to tag multiple items when reorganizing. (E.g. something like: "All those 'utility' items need to broken into 'telecom' versus 'house services'!") That's also when I'll want to remove tags from multiple items at once.
But the use case I had in mind was the new user, freshly immigrated from LastPass, who wants to organize her 100's of items immediately upon starting up. Because she's a very organized soul.
Turns out that, despite the stripped-down context menu in 1P8, she COULD have done so with drag and drop, except for the fact that tags are not visible in the left navbar, which is a BUG! (I can do it in 1P8 for PC, but I wrongly assumed that this was a Mac-specific deficiency.)
Yes, you can fix the tag-invisibility problem with a setting. But most users don't drill into settings, and this is a very badly-chosen default value! Much better to display MORE information by default, and allow users to reduce what they see.
She had no reason to believe that she had the ability to see those tags, let alone drag-drop onto them. Now, yes, I did send her links to the "Getting Started" page, which does mention dragging onto the tags. But that page fails to mention the need to change this obscure setting, so she assumed that this was yet another feature that was "except for 1Password 8".
(PS: I was taught to include design bugs, such as poor choices of default settings, as fully cromulent rankable assignable bugs. So, yes, this is a BUG.)
