Hi BC Gurus,
We have a customized field we would like to change from Integer to String. It looks like the field is already populated with a lot of data. Is there any risk to changing a field from Integer to String? We worry that we will lose data if we make the change.
What would be the best way to make this change?
Thanks!
Hi,
Data loss occurs if a field converts from a higher data type to a lower data type. In your case its opposite. So data will not be lost.
Just make sure that the length of string should be enough. Like if you have highest number as 1234567890 then length of string should be more than 10.
