You're welcome! I'm glad that it helped. As to your follow-up questions:
- What exactly is the URL field? Is it optional?

If you look at the saved item.json file, you might notice that we use both overview.url and overview.URLs. The plural key is an array of each of the URLs stored in that particular Login item.

Those are actually UUIDs for each field that we have compressed down to an alpha-numeric format. You can copy over the existing ones or leave them blank. The CLI will take care of them. They can be duplicated across any number of vault items, just not within a single vault item.
I hope that these answers are what you're looking for. If you have any additional follow-up questions, feel free to ask them here!
