Great news!!
Thanks that will be helpful, for sure
How can I change a current dropdown field to a mutli-select dropdown?
Hello Dane,
At this time Insightly does not allow for the change of a custom field type that was created. I suggest creating your new custom field and then using our Update Records via Import feature. Our FAQ article Understanding bulk updating with imports will walk you through it with some great screenshots.
Insightly does make updates to existing records based on Record ID number. With that in mind, to update your records, we recommend:
Then you can remove the old custom field once all your records are updated.
Hope that helps!
