Changing an attribute from single value to multi value

Hello Alex,

You can select multi value attribute  from "multi value" column by expanding attribute topic.

In Director Go to System admin, Expand Information Modeling > Classes and Attributes > Select Object and expand attributes topic

Hello,
In theory there is a way that should work for both objects.
Steps needs to be taken:
1) Create reports to retrieve attribute value and main information on object it’s related to using custom eQL report (Object code, middle, revision)

START WITH Document
SELECT
Code,
Middle,
Revision,
Attributes["Global", "XXX"].Value
WHERE
Attributes["Global", "XXX"].Value IS NOT NULL

START WITH Project
SELECT
Code,
Attributes["Global", "XXX"].Value
WHERE
Attributes["Global", "XXX"].Value IS NOT NULL

2) Run report and export result to excel using ‘Download All Results’ as we will need this data later
3) Retrieved results also move to Basket (better clear basket before doing taking this step)
4) In Basket using Action>Bulk update feature hide this attribute by taking of view permissions for everyone.
5) In Director rename this attribute
6) In Director Create new attribute using old attributes name (create it as multi value)
7) After taking all these steps now we need to import old values for this new attribute. This can be done by using Provisioning spreadsheet. Fill in data from step 2 to Provisioning spreadsheet.

Note:
a) Document type = 3, Project type = 9 (information required in provisioning spreadsheet for attribute import)
b) new attribute must be assigned to templates and synced as in web it might won’t be visible for edit if value will not exist.

Let me know if I missed something.
