3.3.2.4.3.2. Modifying a Text Input Field

Renaming a Text Input Field

Renaming a text input field allows you to change its name without deleting its entries from all projects that are using them.

1. Login to the Strawberry Admin panel using your credentials
2. Click on the “Projects” tab
3. Click on the “Custom Project Metadata” to expand it
4. Click on the metadata set that contains the text input field which you want to modify. This will expand the set.
5. Click on the checkbox next to the text field and then on the “Edit Item” button
6. Change the Text Field’s name in the “Name” field and click “Confirm”

Converting a Text Field into a Drop-Down Menu

In case you no longer require a specific drop-down menu, you can convert it into a text field. This will preserve the (former) entries of the drop-down on projects which are already using them and will also allow users to enter new free text entries.

1. Login to the Strawberry Admin panel using your credentials
2. Click on the “Projects” tab
3. Click on the “Custom Project Metadata” to expand it
4. Click on the metadata set that contains the text input field which you want to modify. This will expand the set.
5. Click on the checkbox next to the text field and then on the “Edit Item” button
6. Change the Text Field’s “Type” to “Dropdown”. You can also change the name if you like to do so.
7. Click “Confirm”
