Cannot Update Field Type in 1Password 8 macOS

In 1P7 it was possible to change the field type. For example, if I had a text field named "Door Code" I could change it to be a password field so it is automatically obscured. In 1P8 that is no longer possible and you have to create a new field.

1Password Version: 8.7.0
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: macOS 12.3.1

    Seems like there is a lot of desire for this feature to return. Any reason why it was removed? It's super convenient to have in 1P7 and uber-frustrating to have to pick the field type before just entering information in 1P8.

    +1 for me. As I said in another thread, I use the password generator for "secret question" answers and then turn them to plain text. Can't do it in 1PW 8.
