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

    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.

    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.

    Hi Andrew,

    Thanks for your suggestion. Though the issue am faced is that I need to align a Choices (Yes/No) Data type field to an existing Multiselect Option set on a Contact entity - where if a multiselect option is selected can have multiple persona?
