How to change the Category assigned to a record

I came here with the same question. Among other problems, I have many Login items I want to change to Wireless Router items so I get the QR codes.

I'm not asking for fully automated conversions, only the ability to see one old and one new item side-by-side so I can drag the old fields across to the new item, and hopefully be able to do it once manually and 1Password do the same for the selected, identical source Items. It's partly possible now to do single conversions with some manual effort, but the new item window is stationary in the center of the screen. On a 13" MacBook Pro it can be a challenge.

Being able to apply that mapping to multiple old items would be huge for users and a reasonable coding effort. Here's a use case for why this is important. I have forty-one "Passwords" item types I want to change to "Login" types. I don't know why they were created that way; I don't think it was my choice, and they all lack user names. Anyway, It's a simple conversion: Old password → New password, Old website → New website, and I have to remember and enter the username.

What I need is the ability to:
1. Select all 41 items
2. Choose a "Convert to..." menu item
3. Select a New Item type (maybe with a submenu)
4. See the old item's template on the left and the new template on the right, possibly with one item's field data shown on the left for a more intuitive UX
5. Drag fields from left to right for the mapping I want. See lines from old to new fields. and be able to move or remove them. If it's simple to pre-match the identically-named fields, that would be nice. The titles can transfer over untouched.
6. Click a button, and my mapping is used to create a bunch of new items from the old ones.
7. The final step could be nothing, which is probably best for budget. Other ideas are to have an option to Archive the old items with one click. Undo would be nice, but this can be manually achieved pretty easily.

Thanks for continuing to listen.
