, "JSON parsing error. expected object but got array" error on my SP list form. Remove the multiple option, error goes away. Any help would be really appreciated!

    You are better off creating a new column and setting it up how you want/need it - ie Multi select - then add this into your form and remove the old field / datacard

    Is there anything else that can be done? Id have a lot of data I would need to manually add back in row wise. Thanks!

    To be honest I don't know because I don't change column types / setups after the initial setup. This is because I've seen and encountered way too many issues to bother doing it.

     

    You could try setting the column as Multiple, Refreshing the Data source in the app, removing the datacard then re-add it back in to see if that works?

     

    If it doesn't, there's always my first suggestion and using a flow to add existing data to the new field?
