Hi @Saqib Dar 

You can't unfortunately. You'll have to delete your field and create a new one.

Have a nice day

Or create, migrate your data and then delete :)

[Frederic Chartrand]

Yup.

@Saqib Dar use @Dirk Ronsmans advice.

My "cowboy" way of doing it is not the best one ! :D

@Dirk Ronsmans @Frederic Chartrand  thanks for your respose guys.

How i can migrate the data to new field?

[Frederic Chartrand]

By migrating, we mean recreating it. There's no way to "migrate" data from a custom_field to a new one.

[Dirk Ronsmans]

Well by migrating I mean copying the data from the old field to the new field (if possible).

You could do that using an Automation rule/Scriptrunner script/... even a local script using the API depending on what you have available.

otherwise you'd lose the old data when you remove the old field

Thanks @Dirk Ronsmans  scriptrunner is the most easiest way to that
