Allow Ticket Fields field type to be updated without creating a new field
Posted Nov 30, 2021
It would be great to be able to adjust the field type after creating the field.
Examples:
- I create a numeric value ticket field and later I'd like to change this field type to decimal.
- I create a multi-select ticket field and later I'd like to change this field type to a drop-down.
The current functionality requires you to deactivate the field and create a new one. However if you've used this field in conditional formatting, you must remove the condition altogether, create the new field, then go back to conditions and re-add the condition for the new field.
I understand this may not be possible for all field types like drop-down to credit card or multi-select to text but I think allowing the following would be beneficial.
- Drop down to multi-select
- Numeric to Decimal
- Text to Multi-line

Upvoted this. Definitely have more than one need for text to multi-line change.

This would be a dramatic improvement for our use cases. Currently need to alter a drop down to a multi-select.

Hello Everyone,
We wanted to let you know that at this time we are not able to commit to building this feature. We understand this may be frustrating but wanted to ensure we closed this loop to remain transparent.
