Frequently Asked Question

Is it possible to change field type in Express Server, e.g. LOV to text field, or vice versa.

Unfortunately, once a field is created, its type cannot be changed. Here are some possible solutions.

If the fields are created using Express Server, we can delete the field that we don't want and add new one with the type we want.
If the fields are standard fields, then we have to create a new field with the type we want above the standard field (we can hide the standard field using script as needed) and then automate the standard field value based on the new field value.
