Changing Field Types

How to change your Field to a different Field type 

Process

1. In your Application (Build > Applications), find the field that you want to adjust to a different Field type. If the Field settings panel is collapsed, click the toggle arrow to expand it.

2. In the Field settings panel, click the pencil icon to edit the field.

3. If the Field is one that can be switched to a different type, you will see a Change Type button in the modal that appears. Click the button.

4. The system will display the available options for what Field type the field can be changed into. Select the desired type and click Save Field.

5. You should now see the new Field type listed.

Limitations

Please note that when changing Field types, you are only able to change the type between specific types.

For example, you can change from a 'single' select type Field (e.g. Radio; Select) to a 'multiple' select type Field (e.g. Checkbox; Multi-Select). However, you cannot change from the 'multiple' Field type back to the 'single' field type because this could cause data integrity issues (in the event that there are more than one value selected, for example). Another example would be trying to change a select type Field into text, or vice versa.
