Posted on by 179

Hi all,

Please can I get some guidance or work around on how to convert an option set values (data) to multiselect option set? And the dependencies?

Many thanks

    Hi , the requirement am faced with is that I need to align a Choices (Yes/No) Data type field to an existing Multiselect Option set used in Prod on a Contact entity - where if a multiselect option is selected can have multiple persona?

    Hi,

    From my experience, you cannot convert the data of option set into a multiselect option set. You should create a new field multiselect type option set and add the values you want.

    Thanks.

    Hello,

    From my perspective, it's much easier to create a new separate field with Multiselect Optionset type and use the same source of options.

    If you want to migrate the data as well - create a console app/SSIS package/anything other to migrate the data from the existing field to the newly created one.
