"Convert Field type" capability

Ideas & Features
3

Not sure if this, or that post are the main topic for this by now…

Being able to toggle the Name field from Formula back to String is great, but should be possible for other fields as well to enable maintenance tasks such as:

  1. Converting a multi-select to a single-select
  2. Convert a multi-relationship to a single relationship
  3. Find and create a relationship based on certain fields
  4. etc.

I know that I can…

  1. Manually copy-paste fields, but on tables with 1000 entries that gets cumbersome.
  2. I can create a temporary button, but these buttons are visible for all

The easiest way IMHO is:

  1. Create a new formula field
  2. Create my formula and ensure the outcome is right
  3. Convert this into a static field of the same (correct) type

Thanks!
