    Hi @tadeaskula,

    Yes you can simple delete the field from custom fields list in form editor, then you should be able to recreate the field using same meta. Existing data will not be deleted. However depending on field types, it might not be compatible with your new type. For example text fields and dropdown fields saves data in different format. So it’s not possible to replace one with another as you want. Hope it’s clear.

    Thanks.
