Do you want to change the type of a metaproperty? Changing the metaproperty type of an existing metaproperty can have serious implications for your portal taxonomy and overall stability of the portal. Make sure that you know what metaproperty types can be changed before making any modifications. Learn everything about it below.
The following metaproperty types are interchangeable:
-
select
-
select2
-
autocomplete
See the table below for a better understanding of the metaproperty types you can change and which can't be changed at all.

Do not change the metaproperty type of an existing metaproperty if the table below indicates that no changes are possible.
