Changing Field Data Types

Changing Field Data Types

Autodesk,

What are the chances that the Autodesk team could come up with a solution to change future Field Data Types and not lose all previous saved data.

I have come across this a number of times. I am wanting to keep the same data, but learning the system and its capabilities I have found more efficient ways to pull the data along. The current way is running a report and using an excel spreadsheet to re-populate the fields (which is a strenuous process, for me)

Respectfully,

Trevor L. Hill

Hi Trevor,

 

I appreciate you taking the time to write and submit this idea to the Idea Station. 

 

I understand currently if the Administrator change the Field Data Type there is chance of losing all the data.

This is the reason why we have a warning message before every change.

 

I will add this to our future enhancement list.

 

thank you,

 

Trung
