Hello,

What do you mean by "project specific single select"? If you want to have different options for different projects, then you should create a field context for this project. You can find more info here:

Go to the Context part.

Project-specific is one of the custom field type. I am trying to change existing single select custom field type to this field type without creating new field. Is there any way to do this by script runner or any other options

Alexey Matveev

Is this field type from a plugin? Anyway, you should create a new field and then copy all data from the old field to the new one.

linga T

Yes it is from plugin. Do we have any option to convert the existing field. Without creating new field?

The exact scenario which am looking for.

But, I also got the same response that we can't change the existing custom field type to project specific type.

Not sure. Why. Supposing we don't have possibility to do so in UI without creating new filed. Even in DB also not possible.

Can anyone please confirm or suggest some idea why we can't do with that.?
