Hi 1password team,

it seems that the link between items get lost when moving the items between vaults; even if they are moved together. Is this a known issue?

    Hello @miggl8! 👋

    It's not currently possible to retain item references when moving an item from one vault to another vault due to how the cryptographic architecture of 1Password works. 1Password doesn't actually "move" items from one vault to another. When you "move" an item 1Password creates an entirely new duplicate item in the destination vault with the same data as the original item and then it deletes the original item in the source vault. This is done because each vault in 1Password is encrypted using it's own private key.

    I can definitely see that there's room for us to improve this behaviour, especially if two linked items are moved at the same time to the same vault, and I've filed a feature request on your behalf.

    For now, after moving the items, you'll need to link them again: Link related items in 1Password
