Is there a way to show the categories info in the item being shown?

When I am doing a search for an entry or some entries I don't know where I put them, the result only show the entries it found in my vault.
However, there is no information about in which categories the entries are stored.
Is there a way to show the categories info in the item being shown?
This is useful in case I want to relocate the item to another category.

    Hi @tomtsui!

    This is useful in case I want to relocate the item to another category.

    Unfortunately this is not possible: once you enter an item in a category, it cannot be moved to another one. The only exception is converting a Password item to a Login item, but in the search results it should be simple to understand whether an item is a Login or a Password item (Password items have a different default icon, and have no usernames).

    Ok, no hard feeling. 1Password not very user friendly this way.
    For example, I have my Library Card stored under Driver Licenses, which I believe I duplicated from my Driver License item before.
    So even I think it would be more appropriate to put the Library Card under Identities, under current circumstances I can only create a new item for the card under Identifies. That's fine.
    BTW, why Driver Licenses worth a category of its own? I only have one. Just wonder how many you have ? Just curious.
    Anyway, thanks very much.

    @tomtsui:

    I think it's useful if you want to store driver license information from other family members, for example. Or also if you want to keep information from expired driver licenses around for your own reference.

    So even I think it would be more appropriate to put the Library Card under Identities, under current circumstances I can only create a new item for the card under Identifies. That's fine.

    For library cards, you could also consider using a Membership item. But using an Identity item has the advantage that you can actually fill those information on websites, so depending on how you need to use it, it might be a better fit for you.

    Probably simply calling the category Licenses would be more versatile.
    Thanks anyway

    Thank you for the feedback @tomtsui! I have also passed your feedback to the developers to let them know that you would like a way to move items between categories :+1:
