Filter by attachments

Hello @TOWS! 👋
1Password 8 for iOS doesn't currently include the ability to search for items that contain an attachment. The best way to mark which items have attachments is to use a tag: Organize with favorites and tags
I'd be happy to pass along your suggestion to the team, can you tell me a little more about why you'd like to be able to find all items that contain an attachment? This will help our product team to better understand and prioritize your request. 🙂

Hi there Dave :)
You've kind of already touched on an example of why I would like to have some kind of filter for attachments...
Because 1Password 8 does not have the ability to search for entries with attachments, I thought I would create a simple tag and that way I could find all my attachments - that's great and all but the trouble is, I don't know which entries have attachments for me to tag! And I don't really cherish the idea of going through my four hundred and something entries one at a time to find them!Ok, more reasons to want to find attachments :
With some of my entries, I keep documents which change every year (sometimes every six months) and so because I don't want to keep out-dated and irrelevant/expired information attached I remove those and replace with newer ones. I have tried tags but in all honesty, tags are only efficient if you remember to use them :) half the time I create notes/ logins etc and save without remembering to include a tag. To further add to the necessity of this request, I don't attach the same kind of documents to the same kind of 1pasword categories (even though they are related, I can't really go into specifics)
What would be ideal and what exactly am I asking for here?
The ability to find an entry in ANY category which has attachments. Some ways I could suggest are:
- Home page tab> Customize > "has attachments"
- In items tab> All items> "has attachments"
- or simply, how about an icon or mark of some description, (like a paperclip icon) next to items with attachments? (This actually sounds the 'easiest' way, then I could find things with attachments and tag them!)
Thoughts?

@bugwhat thanks for your thought!
Yes, I was aware of the documents category, and you raise a very good point, however, I only use this category for things like passports, birth certificates and the like. I also attach documents in multiple categories sometimes for the same subject/person/group therefore, unless I remembered to tag the entries it’s still difficult to find them.
Maybe @Dave_1P could also suggest a feature for finding everything without tags to the Dev team, that would also work as a workaround for my attachment conundrum 😊

Documents does NOT show all my attachments in ALL categories of 1password. I’m not sure I understand your point.
“Simplifying” doesn’t solve my issue -the requests I made to the 1password team would fix my issue. thanks for your input though.

Thank you for your input, TOWS is referring to file attachments added to other types of items and not Document items. 🙂
Thank you for the suggestions and additional details! I can definitely see how it would be useful to have the ability to find items with attachments and I've filed a feature request on your behalf and included your comments.
