    The answer may depend on how many records you need to process and your technical ability, some options

    • Create view with only the 2 columns in it, Export to Excel, copy Column to the other Column and then import as an update
    • Create a workflow or Flow (approach and how this is done may depend on how many records, due to the default record limits)
    • Write some custom code
    • Use other tools such as XrmToolBox or SSIS, or others

    @Shafdev 

    You can try creating asynchronous process ,then use xrmtoolbox to run the process on all records using Bulk workflow execution

    Hello,

    I would say you can try XrmToolBox and SQL4CDS plugin and write an update statement.
