Hi KK,

I’m working with the Industry field on Contacts. We have data on many records and need to normalize these and change the record type to dropdown. I can export all records but need to save many data values (as we don’t want to re-enter them). Can I convert this Industry field to a dropdown type? If so, what would be the process to do so? Thanks!
