We have a custom field of time limited text (<256) . Now the requirement has been increased to text field (unlimited). I added the new field with the same name and now the users need to fill the additional data in the new field. I am looking for a way to move the existing data of the old custom field to the new one and remove the old custom field (limited text)
Hi Nic,
I was able to do this using the built-in Scripts provided by the Script runner plugin. The option used is
Copy custom field values
Copy custom field values from one field to another in bulk, to support changing a field type without using SQL or restarting.
You'll need to write some form of script to do this. Have you got the script runner plugin?

I didn't know there was one in there already :-)
