I have a numeric field that needs to be converted to an alphanumeric field. It looks like I don’t have that option. Any idea?

with the latest update to the properties, a fields type cannot be changed if a contact has a value set. You will need to create a new property.

so basically I need a new field and to move all the numbers plus a letter into the new field.
maybe this isn’t so bad and it can be done with export and reimport.
thank you.
Yep, exactly how I would apprch it. Export and reimport into new field.
@jennysowyrda Can you shed light on the update and thought behind the change? Thanks.
Hi @gelflex-cc,
Thank you for your patience! I did connect with the team and they have confirmed a change was made last year. For more details, I wanted to share this resource which outlines the specifics.
Thank you,
Jenny
Hi Jenny @jennysowyrda
Great article. Thank you.
My field type can not be changed because it is in use. 
I will find a work around.
