It’s not possible at the moment to convert Text field to either Single Select or Multi Select. As a workaround you could create a new field and then select all Text values, then copy them into your Single Select or Multi Select field. Without this feature it’s very onerous to “change text fields into Select fields”. I believe that this used to work. ---

I haven’t checked how it works, but is the option to allow non-creators to create new options enabled? ---

And in Notion the Field in question is a Select, right? If yes, I’ll add your +1 to a slightly more popular request to support Selects in integrations. ---

Just to clarify 😃 - there is Single Select and Multi Select. In my scenario I needed Single Select for one field and Multi Select for the other. ---

I’m pretty sure it works now - just tested, am I going crazy or have you changed this? 😃 ---
