Sometimes, you'll create a field in Dash and realise that you'd like to change it to a different type of field. For example, you may have created a Tags field, but realised that you'd actually prefer Controlled tags (explore the links to find out why).
Say you currently have Tags set up for primary image colours, here's an example:
Now, you want to change these to Controlled Tags instead.
Here's how to do this in Dash:
Create your new field with the required field entries (In this example, we're also going to group the colours, as this is one of the benefits of Controlled Tags):
Next up: replace your old field variable with your new ones
Go to your filters, and filter by the first field variable you want to replace, e.g. "Green". Select all the assets and the click the pencil icon to edit.
Now, select the corresponding variable ("Green") from your new field. This will apply the new field variable to all the selected assets.
Remove the old field variable by clicking the cross next to its name (or, if you're going to be deleting the entire field, you can skip this bit and delete the entire field afterwards).
Repeat for all other field entries.
Now, you're done!
