change field type on existing form

  1. I am looking to change a field from a text input field to a dropdown on an existing form. However, I do not want to lose the data from the existing field.

    Is there a way to change the field type on an existing filed, as if I simply delete the field and add a new one, I lose all the existing data.

    Alternatively, is there a way to remove a field form the form without losing data.

    Thanks

  2. I would recommend that you make that existing field "admin only" so it's hidden on the front end and you can retain your data, and then add your new field in it's place.
