Expiry Alert limited to a single date

I can set an expiry alert (nice addition BTW), but to only one date. Is that intended?

Imagine this scenario — you buy an important item on Amazon.
You create a secure note with a date field to document the purchase date.
Amazon lets you know you have date by which you can return or replace the item,
so you create a date field for that.
The item comes with a 5-year warranty, so you create a date field for that too.

At this point, 1Password is offering to apply an expiry alert to any date added,
but as soon as you apply it to, say the return deadline date,
it takes away the ability to apply an expiry alert to the warranty expiration date
just like Lucy yanks the football away just as poor ol' Charlie Brown goes to kick it!

Is there a way around this, or is that a designed limitation? If so, why?
I am running 1Password for Mac 8.11.1 under macOS Sequoia 15.5.

    Just adding my vote for the ability to put an expiry alert on any/all date fields (that is, including multiple fields in a single item).  I've wanted this before, but my most recent use-case was inputting the various renewal dates for my email provider:  main account renewal, (2) different sub-account renewal cycles, domain/whois-privacy renewal.  Four different renewal dates, which are currently -- sadly -- on three different renewal cycle periods.  I'm handling it by adding notes to myself to remind me that after I process the first renewal, I should set a new expiry alert on the next-up renewal.  Should work, but klunky.  It would be much-preferable to be able to set independent alerts for each of the individual renewal cycles.

    Hi bill_ds​! Thanks for writing in. 

    The expected behaviour is one expiry per item. While I can't speak for the Product team, if I were to hazard a guess I'd say the use case is probably around things like driver's licenses, passports, or services where you're required to rotate the password. In those cases you'd have one expiry date that then gets updated after renewing. 

    I can't make any promises that it will get added to 1Password, but I would be happy to share your feature suggestion and use case with the team. 

    It may not be the most practical solution, but in the scenario you described you could consider adding an item for the return date, and an item for the warranty, then linking or tagging them to keep them associated. 

    Thanks again!

      Thank you Timothy. Please do.
      And thanks for taking the time to offer a workaround to use in the meantime.
