How can I change the category that a password has been filed under?

ian_turnbull

When I first set up I didn't know to sort the passwords to the various categories and now have many memberships under the "Passwords" category and would like to move them to the "Membership" category. It appears that the "Copy/Move" function only allows one to copy or move a file to a shared vault. It is a pity that this doesn't allow for one to also change the category.

Hi @ian_turnbull!

You are right that it's not possible to change the category of an item after it has been created. This is because many fields in one category don't exist in another, and viceversa, so moving them is not always an easy action to do automatically. Thank you however for the feedback, perhaps one day we will be able to do this, so in the meantime I have sent your feedback to the developers :+1:

Hi ag_ana,
So therefore I have to manually transfer all the information for each entry, correct?

@ian_turnbull:

That's correct, you need to copy paste your information from one item to the other.

Not a fan of this. It's just data, if the new category can't accept all the fields, it would be nice to give us the option to save them in Notes or lose them.

Thank you for the feedback on this, this could indeed be an option :+1:
