Field Type is disabled in Unmanaged solution

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I have a field Account name in an Entity[Account]. I want to change to calculated field but when I try to edit field, fieldType and Data type is disabled. How can I make it enabled so I can change its field type to calculated field.

    It's one of the most important restrictions in dealing with fields.

    Once you've created a field, you cannot change the type of the field!

    Kind regards,

    There are ways of changing the field type from backend - but i wont suggest you that until unless deleting this field and recreating it is harming you in any way.
