Aha! Roadmaps | Convert custom fields to different field types

Merging helps you combine two fields of the same type. But sometimes you create a custom field in the wrong type — an editable choice list, for example, that you realize should have been a predefined choice list. In this situation, you can convert an existing custom field to another type.

• To do this, navigate to Settings ⚙️ Account Custom fields. Hover over the field you wish to convert and click More options, then Convert.

• Select the field type you want to convert your custom field to from the list of available field types.

• Click Convert custom field.

• Since your newly converted custom field will retain its original API Key, you will not need to adjust reports, roadmaps, or integrations that include it.

Some conversions are only one-way. For example, you can convert an editable choice list to a note field, but you cannot convert a note field to an editable choice list.
