Once data is imported can you fix wrong catergories or must you change csv and reimport? data is already imported, can I batch move data to appropriate categories or must I delete all and start over with an edited csv. I imported from "awallet" on android.
-thanks

Hi @shortschoolbus,

At this time, it is not possible to change an item’s category in 1Password. However, if you’d like to avoid re-importing, 1Password mini makes it fairly simple to copy existing data into a new entry. Here’s what I do:

• Use ⌘⌥\ ( Command-Option- \ ) to open 1Password mini (clicking on the icon in your menu bar works as well.
• Find the item you wish to move into a new Category.
• View its details and click the Anchor icon in the bottom corner. (This will ‘pin’ the details to your screen.)
• In the main 1Password app, create a new item in the correct category.
• Copy and paste the details from the anchored window into the new item. (One-click copy makes this simple.)

I hope this helps!

This is for individual records? I was hoping for batch copy paste since I have 153 records.

Hi @shortschoolbus,

This would be on a per-item basis. If you’re dealing with a large number of entries, re-importing might be your best bet.

@shortschoolbus ,

Is there a category marker per CSV row? Or can you describe how the CSV is formatted such that one category can be distinguished from another?

shortschoolbus

File is at home but I will check. Thanks for the reply Megan. It will probably be easier to reformat the csv in proper format and reimport

shortschoolbus

the headers are:
description,id,PIN,email,notes

MrC

@shortschoolbus ,

If those are the only columns, you're going to have to manually separate out the rows into their coorespnding categories, saving them into category-specific CSV files (those four that are supported for import by 1Password).

Thanks. I will

shortschoolbus

Btw. Does it matter if you have column headers?

MrC

@shortschoolbus ,

No, 1Password's CSV importer does not use them, only the column position is used.
