Hi Bhavya,

Once a field is created, you can't convert the type. You have two options as workarounds.

Create the OptionSet field, hide the existing string field, perform a data migration process to move the data from string field to OptionSet field. You may also need to change all other workflows and plugins.

Create the OptionSet field, hide string field. When a item from the OptionSet is selected, use JavaScript to populate the string field. With this option, you don't have to change existing plugins and workflows.

Cheers,

Nadeeja
