How to change the type of a custom field?

Question

Hi, there.

I have customized a field named "End date" and set the type to "Date Time Picker". Is it possible to change the type to "Date Picker"?

Many thanks.

It is the only way on Cloud. You could do it through the database on Server.

Hello,

You would need to create a new custom field and then copy all data from the old custom field to the new one.

You can use Jira Cloud Rest Api for it:
