1. Accessing the Column Type Update Option
To update a column type, navigate to the Data tab in your dataset. Locate the column you wish to modify, click the three-dot menu, and select Edit Column Type.2. Selecting a New Column Type
A dialog box will appear, prompting you to select a new column type. The system supports various column types, including:- Text – Stores string values.
- Boolean – Stores
True
orFalse
values. - Integer – Stores whole numbers.
- Float – Stores decimal numbers.
- Array – Stores lists of values.
- JSON – Stores structured JSON objects.
- DateTime – Stores date and time values.
- Image – Stores image references.

3. Updating the Column Type
After selecting the desired column type, click Update. The system will convert the column’s data to the new format where possible.- If the data is incompatible with the new type (e.g., converting text to an integer when it contains letters), some values may be adjusted or omitted.
- Certain dynamic columns may not support type conversion due to their automated nature.
Best Practices for Changing Column Types
- Ensure the new type aligns with existing data to prevent unexpected transformations.
- Convert Boolean values carefully to avoid loss of logical meaning.
- If converting to DateTime, verify the format of existing values to prevent errors.
