Hi
I've created custom fields for a Org but I have now added some sub types. Is there a way of changing the type from Any to a sub org type?
Even if not from the front end can I in the database?
It looks like you would change "extends_entity_column_value" but it does not work correctly when i go back into Civicrm. (Removing any existing subtypes is not allowed at this moment. However you can add more subtypes.)

I have entered alot of information into a custom field and it will take significant time to re enter them.

Thanks

You're on the right track. The subtype title you add to the "extends_entity_column_value" column needs to be delimited w/ the Ctrl+A character - see screenshot from phpMyAdmin attached.

Thank you so much Dave for your reply I'll give it a try.
