Hi all,
I have a custom type I originally created as single but need to switch to repeatable. I went into the JSON and changed it manually "repeatable": true but when I try to push the changes I get an error: "We couldn’t push the following Custom Types. Check your Custom Types models and retry."
Is it possible to switch to repeatable or do I need to create a new custom type?
Thanks
Hello @jerry.nummi, this is not possible at the moment. We already have an open feature request about it. You can see it here:
It's been about 2 years now, do you think this open feature request will have an answer one day ? It will be really usefull to change from Single to Repeatable instead of just creating a exact copy of existing Custom Type just to use it on more than one page. It is really anoying to do some migration process where just changing the type will be really faster and less heavy and time consuming...
Hey team,
The current update is that we don't have plans to modify the process for changing a custom type from single to repeatable. Your options are to either recreate the type from scratch with a different name, or if you want to use the exact same name, you’ll need to delete all related documents and then recreate the type.
This behavior is intentional as a security measure to prevent content loss. Allowing a switch from repeatable to single without restrictions could result in the loss of important content.
