Hi everyone! I am excited to share that this is available as part of the Custom Field Manager in ClickUp 3.0. I'm closing out this request, but please feel free to create new feature requests with any additional functionality you'd like to see in future versions. Thanks!

Caroline Ginty I understand that converting one way is complete to a label however you can't convert back?

Would be very useful to be able to change text>long text and text>labels. This would also enable current fields stuck in text to be used on the dashboards.

Change/convert an existing custom field
T
Tamryn Delport
To be able to change/convert a custom field after it has been created (e.g. from a drop down to a long text) without having to create a whole new field and update this in every task,list and folder. This helps to also when some are no longer in use but has the title you could potentially reuse just with a different input (e.g. dropdown field is called "Channel" but I would like to change this to a long text custom field instead of creating another "Channel" field that is text specific. It becomes confusing to have two floating around

Hi Caroline Ginty! I know this is technically still in-progress in the CFM beta, but are there currently any limitations to it? I seem to be having issues converting a dropdown to a label; it will either just not work (clicking it does nothing) or pretend to do something, but with no results.

Jeremy Henry-Tan: Please reach out to help@clickup.com so we can investigate! Sounds like a bug on our side :)

Import Location Fields is currently unavailable. Would be possible to convert text field with address into location fied in Bulk?

Ability to replace "Text Field" to "Long Text Field" if needed

I imported my stuff and by mistake, I chose the field to be ( Text ), I want to change it to ( Long Test ) but I can't now!

Move Contents from One Field to Another
Katarina Umana
It would be helpful to either adjust a field's settings (ex: change it from the dropdown to labels) and/or be able to move the content(s)(files) or selection(s) of that field to another field.

Hey Kat! We're implementing the ability to convert fields from one type to another, as well as merge fields into other fields as part of the Custom Field Manager! I'm going to merge this post into that FR so you can track it there.

Caroline Ginty: Awesome to hear! Thanks so much! 😇

Hi everyone! Hi everyone! We've been actively working on this as part of the all new Custom Field Manager (https://clickup.canny.io/feature-requests/p/custom-field-manager). Excited to get this out to you soon!

Caroline Ginty: Looking forward to this. It'd be great to convert $ to percent.
e.g. when calculating profit margin from something like
(field("Revenue")-(field("Cost Rate")*field("Time tracked in hours")))/field("Revenue")

Edit Field Type
Christine McWilliams
Would love to have the ability to edit the custom field type. Currently, "edit field" only gives the option to edit the field name, make it required or delete the field. It would be a much better UX if it would allow you to switch the type too. For instance, changing a Text field to a Dropdown.
