Merging helps you combine two fields of the same type. But sometimes you create a custom field in the wrong type — an editable choice list, for example, that you realize should have been a predefined choice list. In this situation, you can convert an existing custom field to another type.
To do this, navigate to Settings ⚙️→ Account → Custom fields. Hover over the field you wish to convert and click More options, then Convert.
Select the field type you want to convert your custom field to from the list of available field types.
Click Convert custom field.
Since your newly converted custom field will retain its original API Key, you will not need to adjust reports, roadmaps, or integrations that include it.
Some conversions are only one-way. For example, you can convert an editable choice list to a note field, but you cannot convert a note field to an editable choice list. So be careful with this action!
