Hello,

I have an item type field that is a Pick List field type.  I want to change this to a Text Box.  When I proceed to edit this item type field, I see no options for me to change this field to be a Text Box.  How do I make this change?

    Jama doesn't allow changing a field type to a different one once it's created.  You'd have to create a new field of the type you want.  If you have data in the original field you want to populate in the new one you can do so with a bulk update or roundtrip export/import.
