Easy two-way linking of related items (suggestion)
I understand that linking related items is one-way by default, but the majority of the time, I want to have 2 way links. Creating two way links is a bit tedious. I first go to create the first link which involved editing the item, adding a related item field, searching for the related item, and then saving the edits. Then I use that link to go to the related item and repeat the same steps to edit that item. If I'm making a lot of links (say to a new credit card), then it can be easy to miss one.
How about adding a button when editing that says "make link 2-way" (or something to that effect). Where the yellow box is in the following image:
Alternatively, when I go to choose the related item on the second item to make the reverse link you would add a "suggested links".
Though the later options sounds more annoying to implement given that you'd have to find the link that points the opposite direction first in order to suggest it.

Thank you for the feedback, I've passed it along to the team.
For now, it sounds like manually linking the item both ways is the best option for your needs. You'll need to add the relevant item as a related item to your Identity item and then add your Identity item as a related item to each relevant item: Link related items in 1Password

I'm +1 / adding on to this request: For those of us that cycle email addresses, physical addresses, credit cards, etc. it is imperative to track which of those we use for each account login. In the current feature set of 1Password, if I have linked 15 login items to a single credit card item, how can I view all the login items that have been linked to that credit card item? If we don't have 2-way linking, is there a report, view, search, etc. that could be used to find all the login items where a specific credit card is linked?
I've considered creating tags for this purpose, but that means duplicating every identity and credit card record as a tag.

Re: [#ZLS-23755-778] Question about 1Password
but it was also about the linking 2 wayHi Allan,
Thanks for contacting us! I understand that you'd like the link related items feature to create a two-way link.
I can absolutely understand how two-way item links would be more convenient and intuitive than having to manually create two links each time. I've gone ahead and filed a feature request with our Product team on your behalf, including all of the details you've provided here. While I can't make any promises as to if or when this change might be made to 1Password, you can keep an eye on future changes in our release notes here: 1Password Releases
Thanks for taking the time to write in with your suggestion! If you have any further feedback or questions, let me know.
Take care, and have a wonderful week!

Hello asrogers - Welcome to the 1Password community!
Thanks for your feedback and passing along those alternate threads. The processes we have used internally to update the product team on customer feature requests has changed a few times since 2017. I can assure you that past requests were moved forward to the current database we are using to house those requests.
While I can't make any promises about features like this making it in to 1Password, the Product team takes all requests and feedback in to consideration when making decisions about adding functionality to the app.
I also just sent as feedback for feature request
Could you confirm that you had sent an email to the us here in Customer Experience at
support@1password.com
? If so, could you reply with your Support ID number, so I can help look in to this further? If you've already received a response from the team that your feedback was filed with Product team, we're be all set!I'm looking forward to your reply.

Another request for this. I've searched for the functionality a few times over the years - really hoping that we could see it added in 2024!

Hi darrenkidd, thanks for reaching back out to let us know about your current situation. I can definitely understand how two-way links would make this type of change much easier to manage, and we do apologise for any inconvenience caused here. I've added these additional details to the feature request on file for the team to see.
If there's anything else we can help with, let us know!

My use case is for addresses, credit cards, mobile numbers, anything that changes over time.
I'm actually going through the exact use case I mentioned above right now. I changed addresses recently. I wish that I'd been able to link all of my accounts to my old address over the past few years, as then I'd have a convenient back-linked TODO list that I could work through to change over to my new address. :(
