xBit 3.12.8 Release Notes

October 14, 2024

New Feature: Change a field to any Field Type

Users are now able to change any field to any field type.

PLEASE NOTE: This functionality is recommended for fields that are newly created, have very little data or you are certain you want to change a field and remove any associated data.

Previously, users were limited to the type of fields they could change to those that were compatible.

Some examples include:

• Short Text to Long Text
• Single Choice to Dropdown
• Barcode to Short Text

These compatible examples are where the data obviously map well. For example, existing data for a Short Text field may have data that would not be easily converted to a Date and Time field.

Now, you can change any field to any field type

HOWEVER, not all conversions will preserve data. You will get a warning if you try to change a field between incompatible types.

Enter the confirmation message and click save to make your change.
