Hi, the current behaviour of deleting item history when moving items is neither expected nor acceptable in an enterprise use case. Here is why:
- The items password field history is still preserved when moving vaults so the argument "don't accidentally share information that you weren't intending" does not hold.
- It silently deletes item history which breaks auditability and hinders the ability to restore previous version.
- It cannot be undone or reverted.
- 1Password does not warn about data loss when moving items.
- It conflicts with 1Passwords officially recommended enterprise workflow to create and move items to multiple vaults as items currently cannot be stored in multiple vaults.
- It is not documented anywhere in the 1Password support pages as far as we can tell:
https://support.1password.com/item-history/?windows
https://support.1password.com/move-copy-items/?windows
https://support.1password.com/item-history-teams/?windows
This issue has a real impact on our 1Password usage and we would like to know if there is any commitment for it to be fixed or improved since this issue was created 2023.
