Create New Login Item to Include One-time Password Field
I've successfully updated a login item with an existing one-time password field using:
op item edit 'Postmaster [@example.com]' 'one-time password'='otpauth://totp/Example:postmaster@example.com%3C/legend%3E?secret=BASE64ENCODEDSTRING&issuer=Example2FA%20mail.example.com'
This discussion suggests it's not possible to create a new one-time password field for an existing login item using this method, but that it can be done by including the field in a template and then creating a new login item from that template.
This documentation gives examples of the keys/values required to create various fields, but doesn't mention the one-time password field. So, is what I'm trying to do possible, and if so, what values are required for the keys in the template?
Many thanks, Steve.

May have partly answered my own question.
This command appears to give the necessary keys/values required:
op item get "Existing Login Item With OTP Field" --format json
Which returns:
...
},
{
"id": "TOTP_fwzkjzlyjfyjylwqygpvmbivgy",
"section": {
"id": "add more"
},
"type": "OTP",
"label": "one-time password",
"value": "otpauth://totp/Example:postmaster@example.com%3C/legend%3E?secret=BASE64ENCODEDSTRING&issuer=Example2FA%20mail.example.com",
"totp": "851170",
"reference": "op://Personal/heuz7krzcljepdjoovi6xw5g7m/add more/one-time password"

Can confirm it's possible to create a new login item with a one-time password field using a template containing values similar to:
...
},
{
"id": "TOTP_fwzkjzlyjfyjylwqygpvmbivgy",
"type": "OTP",
"label": "one-time password",
"value": "otpauth://totp/Example:postmaster@example.com%3C/legend%3E?secret=BASE64ENCODEDSTRING&issuer=Example2FA%20mail.example.com"
}
...
Then it's a simple matter of using
op item edit ...
to update the OTP field.Apologies for not having investigated further before posting, but hopefully someone else may find this useful.
