Will there be more item types to create as a result?
Like in 1Password, for example.

@mutilator,
Noting your 
(confused) reaction to @clausimausi’s post. I think he was noting that you asked about “item types” in a topic about labels/tags.
Like @clausimausi, I do not understand the relationship you see between the two.
[moved 3 topics from Vault Item Labels (tags) to Additional item types (pre-defined) - #311 by MFKDGAF - denbesten]
4 posts were split to a new topic: Discussion about voting on Feature Requests
3 posts were merged into an existing topic: Customizable vault item templates
Now that I’m a paying customer 
, I would like to see more generic support for cards. Start with Driver License, but also plan for generic extensibility. Example: CostCo membership card, health insurance card, etc.
@smprather , welcome to the community!
Merged your FR into the existing one on the same topic. Do note that a month or so ago, a BW employee stated that this is unlikely to be implemented due to the concept being too open-ended. My suggestion, take a look at Customizable vault item templates to decide if that would be a reasonable alternative for you.
Proton Pass now has more item types to choose from. I hope that Bitwarden will follow soon.

C’mon Bitwarden!!
Glad to see Proton Pass is now getting item types!
Proton Pass is only 2 years old. The product was released on June 28, 2023.
This feature request on the Bitwarden Community Forum has been around since 2018 with 780 votes on this day I am writing this post. That is seven years!!!
There is no reason why this request could not have been on the roadmap by now.
This is why competition is good. We have two good open source password managers. Now hopefully this brings on the pressure for Bitwarden to do what people have been asking for. For seven years!
Just in case people want to read it, I am also going to link it:

@Terrance : Some weeks ago @gtran explains why the Bitwarden developer team will not add further item types:
My personal impression is that there might be one or two reasons why the developer team of Bitwarden does not offer other item types, and that they don’t want to talk about these reasons in public. The reasons given for not implementing it (“difficult to pick the exact right mix of item types” and “that also doesn’t clutter the UI”) are not real reasons (btw., does the always visible SSH-key item not clutter the UI?), sorry to say this. I am not a friend of the ‘whataboutism’ approach, but please take a look at the other password managers available (maybe not perfectly implemented but these password managers offer different item types), like in the newest version of Proton Pass, see comment by @Terrance above.
Nevertheless, I and many other users do not understand why Bitwarden’s developers do not want to implement new item types.

Well, technically, @gtran wrote first and foremost:
(emphasis my edit)
Now you have to make your speculations public. 
- Login
- Credit card
- Secure note
- Password
- Document
- Software license
- Bank account
These were the items types that I used the most.

Well, technically, @gtran wrote first and foremost: " Update: there are no plans to introduce new item types currently ."
Correct. But as this “wish” is here for many, many years and nothing happened (ok, we have a SSH item now) the currently has no specific meaning to me. Of course, it would be nice to see after a non-current time more item types.
Now you have to make your speculations public.
I am not a developer of Bitwarden. As I wrote, the two reason (uncluttered UI, exact right mix of item types) are not really relevant. If there was a will to integrate them, these arguments would not be mentioned. Or just ask the users, they tell you what is needed and bring also ideas how to integrate the new items (both happened already).
I think it should have meaning to you. – If it was like you wrote (“the Bitwarden developer team will not add further item types”), then @gtran would have closed this feature request altogether.
@Nail1684 : Ok, I try see it now more as a “hidden” link: we might see - sooner or later, after the ‘current-time’ - more item types.
I am generally a positive thinker, so ‘yes, it will come one day’ (because the feature reuest is not closed).
This is probably already too far into a “semantics” discussion 
but @gtran didn’t promise “it will come one day” either. – As far as I understood it: it’s currently not in development. Not excluded for the future, but not promised either.
(as far as I can watch it on GitHub, there is a lot of re-work under the hood going on… and some current “projects”… maybe (only maybe!) it will get on the project table again, if there is a new opening for it)

You are more active on GitHub, so you see more that something is happening under the hood. That’s good! Thank you for this info.
I only see that nothing has happened since 2018 (according to this thread; and, beside the SSH-key, also of course to the app).

This usually means no. I know that’s a gloomy way of putting it, but it’s close to reality.
But if it does come unexpectedly, you will be very happy.
