Hi,
I've found a solution for the mentioned problem. What is strange is, that the behavior is different if you call op item edit in PowerShell 5, Powershell 7 or for example zsh on MacOS.

In Powershell 5 it is required to Mask the " character with a \. I've came op with the following code that will handle that situation. Maybe it is useful for someone!

$Password = 'T"e""s"t'

If ($PSVersionTable.PSVersion.Major -le '5') {
$Password = $Password.Replace('"','\"')
}

$Command = 'op item edit "{0}" ''password={1}''' -f $("TestItem", $Password)

Invoke-Expression -Command $Command

Kind regards
Stefan
