Changing Field Type

Advice for changing the type of existing fields in your application.

 

 

Changing the data type of any field in your application is highly discouraged. TipoTapp employs the use of Elastic Search indexing, which is a method used to organize data logically in the system. Changing the type of the field may lead to errors in its processes and impact the data stored in your application. 

We high recommend that, if changing of the type is necessary, a new field be created instead with the desire type. Using the “auto-fill JS Expression”, load the values from the old field to the new one. This way you still are able to have the field with your desired type and retain the existing data for this field.
