in iOS

On a mac (Yosemite, 1Password 5.3.2) I created an item in the servers category. I then changed the field names. Those changes do not update to iOS. The actual info does update however.

1Password Version: 5.5
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: iOS 8.4.1
Sync Type: Dropbox

    Hello @jupasa,

    Sadly what you're running into is a limitation on the Agile Keychain which we use for syncing between copies of 1Password. The older Agile Keychain format wasn't designed to allow customisation of either the labels or ordering of default fields. If you were to add a custom section you would find those fields and labels synchronise correctly, it's just the default fields where this issue is. Due to backwards compatibility this isn't likely to change in the Agile Keychain format but I believe this was resolved in our newer OPVault format. We've been intending to move to OPVault for a while now but we're still not quite there. There is a way you can force the move from Agile Keychain to OPVault but you may prefer to wait for everything to reach a stable version first. I do apologise for you bumping into this.

    Hi @eriksatie,

    I believe switching to iCloud for syncing (which would require a purchase of the Mac application from the Mac App Store) would be a possible workaround for this, as iCloud syncing does not use the Agile Keychain format.

    Also as littlebobbytables mentioned you could manually switch to the OPVault format for Dropbox syncing, but at the moment the process isn't very straight forward, and has not been finalized. It may be more trouble than the existing problem.

    hi @bwoodruff, thanks for the help. I'll try with iCloud, I didn't know that 1password two different file format depending on the kind of cloud sync. so iCloud is the best option with 1Password?

    Hi @eriksatie,

    I'm not sure I'd say better/best, but different, yes. And in this specific case it handles the information you're dealing with differently. For iCloud we use the CloudKit API:

    Thanks!
