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".
The keyboard shortcut is missing (was Command-D on MacOS)
Duplicate (unnecessarily) asks for the destination vault. ...

3 years agoHi esquared,
Apologies for the delay here. I do understand that for the workflow you described (using duplicating as a sort of template creation), having to choose a destination adds an unnecessary step. I suspect though that there are other use cases for duplicating an item. For example, in my own use I sometimes duplicate an item to a shared vault so a family member can access it. Duplicating instead of moving it ensures I retain a copy that no one else can edit and that none of my existing workflows are interrupted by the item being in a different vault.
That said, I do still see some room for improvement for both our workflows. In my case, any edits made to the original item wouldn't reflect on the duplicate. So maybe I would benefit from rearranging how I organize my items and reevaluating which ones ultimately belong in shared vs. private vaults. In your case, if the details of an item didn't need to be changed, you could share the original item directly. If changes do need to be made and ultimately what you're trying to retain is the format/fields/sections of an item, I think that's an excellent use case in favour of a template feature.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
