custom issue edit/change field type Edited

[Jadranka Perc]

How can I change field type for the custom field? We have Target environment type that is a single choice and we need multi values like checkboxes or select list with multiply choices. Do I need to create a new custom field or I can edit the current one?

You cannot change the field type for an existing field. You will have to create a new custom field.

You cannot change field types.

On Server, there's a database hack you can use, but you don't have database access on Cloud.

Your only option is to create a new field, and then use bulk-edit to populate it for existing issues.
