Can you Alter a custom field drop down from Single drop list to multiple drop down list

[Aaron Geister]

I have some custom fields that are single drop down list and I need them to be multiple drop down list now. I was wondering if you can change the drop down list some how so I don't have to remake the custom fields.

Not in Cloud.

On server, if you're careful, you can convert single-select to multi-select with an SQL update and a re-index, but you have no access to the database on Cloud.

Your only option is to make a new field, then use bulk-edit to copy the values from the old field into it.

Thank you I will give this a try.

Script runner (Server) has a feature to convert/copy a select list to a multi-select list
