Feature Request: Show Original Contributor of Items in Shared Family Vaults

Summary

Please add a built-in way to display who originally created or contributed an item to a shared vault in 1Password Family.

Problem

In shared family vaults, it is currently not possible to see who an item originally belongs to once it has been shared. This makes it unclear who owns a specific account, even though the item is visible to everyone in the family.
As a workaround, we manually add tags with the name of the person who created or contributed the item. This allows sorting and filtering by owner, but it is manual, error-prone, and easy to forget.

Proposed Feature
Display non-editable metadata such as:
  • “Contributed by: Name”
    or
  • “Original owner: Name”

This information should remain visible in the item details after sharing or moving an item into a shared family vault.

Benefit

This makes it easy to understand who an account actually belongs to, even when it is shared for convenience. It improves clarity in family vaults, avoids confusion, and removes the need for manual tagging.

Reference

Apple Passwords already shows this information for shared items using labels like

“Contributed by: Name”, which provides clear ownership at a glance.

    I was about to submit this same feature request.  I will add the below IOS screenshot to show that the "Added" and "Last edited" timestamps are currently shown and it would be awesome to have the 1Password user added to this info.

    That would be a great idea, to some extend (though out of your question) this also would make sense in teams/business/enterprise as the same applies there. I.e. users can't see who last changed or created it which would be very beneficial. (And yes dear moderators, I know administrators can get privileges to see the audit-trails, but normals users can't so having that as an option to both family and non-family accounts would make sense, i.e. the owner could be allowed a toggle to 'show creator/last modification by).
