Hi Sarah, thanks for the feedback! This is something we are definitely considering, thanks for letting us know it would be of use to you

I second this as much-needed!

I have a checklist I’ll need to use repeatedly, so I thought, “why not Airtable”? I pasted it into numbers, cleaned up the formatting, and made all of the columns but the primary field checkboxes. I exported to .csv, imported that into Airtable and… all field types were single line text.

Without a batch tool, I now have 100+ fields to either manually update… though I’ll likely have to abandon Airtable for this task instead, and so a batch tool would be terribly useful—my number #2 addition, behind linking bases of course.

Still Very Valid request.

Agreed this would be awesome. Making a form for Election Results right now coming in live on Election Night. Would be great if I could bulk change the field type for each candidate into numbers. Thanks.

This would be amazing! I’ve just inherited around 400 rows of numbers, and I need to change them all to numbers individually!

Needed it too. Still doesn’t work?

Hold up! Its been two years and this feature still isn’t here. Let’s​go​AirTable​

Agree. This would be very useful functionality.

Please implement this feature

Yes, please. While connected third party integrations like a JotForm form that has over 180 inputs, it’s very time consuming to have to go through and adjust each field type individually.

Here to second the request!

Yes this is defo needed!

This is brutal! Why can’t I multi-select field types and change them?

Seconding the request. Thanks!

+1 on this! Please include this feature.

I vote for this too!!!

We really need this

2+ years in the backlog… IMO this is a pretty basic function missing here when dealing with any imported data. A reason I am not using airtable (again) today even though I’d badly love to!
