Can I change a field type?
The short answer is, “no.” Field types are are defined by the type of information you want to enter and Layer cannot convert your entered data. To change your Field Type, delete your current field and create a new one.
Can I duplicate a field?
Yes, click the 3 dots to duplicate a field.
Can I bulk create fields?
Yes, currently the only way to bulk create fields is with our spreadsheet import. See Import Data from a Spreadsheet or using Project Templates
