New feature "set expiry alert" - BUT WHERE IS IT?
I have read the new features list (January 21 2025, Mac 8.10.58) but cannot see where this "set expiry alert" option actually is?

CONCLUSIONS: (after a couple of emails back and forth with Kevin, with thanks!)
1. Old and new items now seem to show the Alert drop-menu when using this new Date field.
2. Per item, you can only have ONE Date Alert. (A feature request exists to allow additional Alerts if the user has several Date fields set and wants them.)
3. Date formats (during both edit and final display) on both the Date field and the Alerts themselves need fixing, as they don't follow the users' system setting. (Much of the world uses either dd/mm/yyyy or yyyy.mm.dd – so this is confusing, especially when editing dates.)
[4. There may be an issue with what happens when the actual Alert goes off. This is a separate issue on the thread above. Or see here: New Feature "Expiry date" - Where is the alert?]
Thanks goes to kevin_li for their help in these matters.

2 months agoI'm sorry for the delay in replying. Are you still unable to see the Set Expiry Alert option in the 1Password for Mac app? If you have 1Password installed on any of your other devices then do you see the option there?
somewhere I can't find I set the yyyy.MM.dd format, which only shows correctly after editing.
EDIT: probably follows system setting (General>Languages & Region>Date format)
It sounds like you're running into a known issue where 1Password can run into issues with the date format. 1Password should respect the date format set for macOS but that sometimes doesn't happen. Can you post a screenshot of your settings in the following place: macOS Settings > General > Languages & Region
I look forward to hearing from you.
