Hello Product Feedback Team!
I don’t know what it would take to program this on the back end, but when it comes to custom fields - some times teams change their mind about what they want the field type to be e.g. multi-select vs single-select.
Having to delete a custom field and start from scratch and typing in the same input values adds up in time. Even the process of deleting and creating new can be problematic if people forget to delete the field in question, leaving room for duplicates roaming around in the organizations’ fields library.
Don’t know if this enhancement feature is in the works, but I have seen many use-cases in our dept of wanting to convert the field type to another value, but avoiding as it requires more steps than desired.
Thank you in advance for considering this enhancement feature!
