There are times when we create a custom entity in the Common Data Service and later need to change the data type. For instance, I had a field that was an ID so I made it an integer. But later I needed to change this to a text field. Converting from an integer to text should result in no data loss. But when I attempt this, it tells me I cannot change the data type.
Please allow changing field types where they can be easily converted and wouldn't result in data loss.
Thanks for the feedback! We are reviewing this feedback with the team.
