Hi everyone,
I have a sharepoint list with some choices column that i would like to change to multiple text.
I tried on a test sharepoint and i can see that it seems like data gets lost when doing it.
Can I change a column from Choice to Text without data loss in sharepoint?
Hi @Wolfmeyn ,
If it is a Single Choice column, the answer is yes
