Improving the new duplicate detection tool [8.10.18 +onward]

Ok, we appreciate the return of the duplicate detection tool! The inteface is good. It's caught maybe 6 to 8 exact duplicates. But there are still over a thousand items with the same essential data ...

Thanks for the reply. Are the items in the same vault or in different vaults? The new duplicate remover tool acts on a per-vault basis to avoid situations where users might have different permissions for items in different vaults that might prevent the tool from automatically removing duplicates. However this is something that the team is hoping to iterate on in the future.

If the duplicates are not in different vaults then would you be willing to send in the item structure (JSON) of both an item and its duplicate so that our support team could compare them to see what the difference is? If you're willing then please send an email to support+forum@1Password.com with a link to this thread and the team will provide instructions on how to generate the item JSON and redact any sensitive information such as passwords and other data before sending it to us. Then they'll provide a secure share link for you to upload the JSON files.
