Change the field type afterward

Hi Fabio,

Changing the data type of field is not feasible. For your requirement, 

1. Add a new Text field 

2. Move data from the number field to the text field via the "Update multiple records..." functionality

Thank you

Sakshi, can you expand on that?  How do you use "Update multiple records..." functionality?  Appreciate your support.

Hi Fabio,

I have shared a screen-sharing call request with you to help you over call.

Hi this is exactly what i have to do. Could you please share the solution?

Thanks

1. Add a new text field (newfield)
2. use the cogwheel
3. search the new text field (newfield)
4. use his dropdown field: "assign calculated value"
5. klick into the white field to the right of the dropdown
6. chose the field name you want to move data from (oldfield)
7. chose OK-button
8. make sure, the drop down in the lower left corner shows "update all visible records"
9. chose blue button "continue"

Done!

2.5 Select "Update multiple records..."

I guess that should be obvious, but it took me a minute.

Damn, forgot that, thanks!
