Install / Update Setup

Hi all
i’m facing this message when I try to change the Fieldtype to a Custom Field , from Int to Button .
This is happening while using customization support as in Setup->Customize Form .

How I can change it?
or I have to delete the field and recreate it directlyas Button type field?

thanks for your attention

Hi @Saverio,

Please check the customize_form.py for allowed field type changes.

You can change the fieldtype mentioned in the allowed_fieldtype_change List.

E.g. Currency type can be changed to Float or Percent or vice-versa, but it can not be changed to Data, Text or any other Type.

Thanks, Makarand
