Duplicate (copy) item in 1Password8 - missing shortcut and cumbersome required vault re-selection
In 1Password8, there are two issues related to the use of "Duplicate Item".

andrew_l_1P - I'm happy to provide additional information, but I'm still of the opinion that the change in UX experience is definitively sub-par to the behavior that existed before. Specifically, there's no value added to interrupting the flow of action to ask the user where to put the duplicate. If you are a macOS user, it's like a duplicate operation on a file in the file system / Finder. You get a new copy in the same folder, just with Copy appended, with no extra actions or questions interrupting. Icing on the cake is the simple keyboard shortcut (Cmd-D) to make it trivial with no mouse involvement. That's the way it was in 1Password7.
Regardless, the most common use case is to duplicate an item in preparation to share with someone else, either in one of my existing accounts or via the "Share" feature. Mostly it's because the name of the item, it's URL(s), and perhaps even the other sections of fields or notes are useful information and I don't want to have to copy and paste each of those fields/values/notes from one item to another. In that case, having a duplicate function is the easiest method.
I hope that is helpful to show how the feature is useful, albeit desegregated in the new version of 1Passowrd.
