How do you change the type of an existing field on an item in 1Password 8?

Having just upgraded to 1Password 8, there no longer appears to be a way to change the type of an existing field. (Clicking on a field only seems to offer a remove the field.)


1Password Version: 8.4.1
Extension Version: 2.2.1
OS Version: Windows 10

    I'm a bit surprised it's not already in the v8 roadmap, given that it's been a feature of 1Password for as long as I've been using it. I'd also consider it fairly fundamental if only because we're all human and make mistakes. Having to delete a field and recreate it, just to change the type, seems pretty poor.

    Alternatively, perhaps when you're promoting new versions, you could provide a list of features you've removed, so we can make an informed decision before upgrading?

    Hey @davidgeary, it is not currently possible to change field types in 1Password 8. With that said, we currently have an internal issue where I'll pass your comment along to our developers to show that there is interest in this feature.

    Thanks!
