Change Text type field to Formula type field
Hello -
We have fields on some custom objects that we currently populate through nightly integrations. We would like to change that and have them be populated with a SF formula. My SF Administrator tried to change the field type from text to formula but was unable to. Is there some reason that we are unable to make that change?? It looks like we are required to create an entirely new formula field and delete the old?? This will require alot of work in our integrations and back office reporting of the replciated SF data to accomodate for an entirely new field. Any idea's??
Thanks, Tammy
Ok, so tell me if this is possible....
1. Create the new formula field to populate via SF.
2. Leave the old text field in existance but populate it by referencing the newly created formula field???
Then, I could just switch the integrations to the new field over time as I make changes to them.....
Hey great point!! That should totally work....dah!!
Thanks, Tammy
DId that wrok deleteing old field and creating new one with same API
