Hi @MA Hakeem

To answer your question, yes, this is doable.

You can find the steps to convert the text field to a single select drop-down in the ScriptRunner Documentation.

I hope this helps to answer your question. :-)

Thank you and Kind regards,

Hi @MA Hakeem ,

Hope you are doing good!!

Did you get a chance to view my solution given in another thread if not please have look at https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Service-Management/change-existing-custom-field-type/qaq-p/1853646?msclkid=8c4d91b3d15011ecb88aa5bdbfef6b29

Steps will be similar for this as well, but I would recommend to perform this on non production instance first and test it and then perform on Production Instance.

Hope this helps!!
