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?
• You can now set up expiry alerts for items. In edit mode, selec...
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.
1P_Dave - Thanks for replying after the weekend.
This whole Date field is acting strange or wrongly, and is buggy is several ways.
Firstly, my bug point 2 above still remains on macOS version:
- The Date field is difficult to type the first two DAY figures. eg. try typing 2 then 0 (for the 20th), it just keeps writing "02" instead.
This is worse on iOS/iPadOS as you simply cannot type in numbers here at all, unless I'm missing something, as you're forced to use the calendar to click through month by month. So if your date is way-off years in the future you're forced to tap the next month chevron (">") about 20+ times until you reach the month with the date you need. Bad design, IMHO.
Main problems re. Date Alerts:
A. Setting the actual date alerts:
I have only managed to get this to work once over the weekend, and that was on in macOS only, never on iOS/iPadOS. So there is clearly a bug in the alerts drop-menu appearing and working.
B. Date format discrepancies on these date alerts:
I'm in UK, so our normal standard is dd MM yyyy, eg. 21 August 2027. I personally prefer dates to display on all my OS's as yyyy.mm.dd (2027.08.21) date format, set in system settings (General>Languages & Region>Date format) on all devices.
However, while I have yyyy.mm.dd set there, the date alerts in 1Password apps on my macOS show as MM dd, yyyy (eg. August 21, 2027), while iOS/iPadOS they show differently again as dd MM yyyy (21 August 2027).
My settings (macOS; same on iOS/iPadOS):
macOS:
iOS:
iPadOS:
Are my points A+B issues both bugs? Presumably point 2 is a bug on macOS, but just designed without keyboard entry on iOS/iPadOS at the moment?
If you could answer all three questions (2, A, and B), please. Thanks in advance.
