  1. Change a field type
  2. Delete or restore a field

You can change a field’s type later in its editor. You can also delete unused fields and restore deleted fields with their values.

Change a field type

  1. Touch and hold the collection in the collection list and tap Edit Collection.
  2. Tap the field you want to change in the Fields list.
  3. Choose a new Field Type.
  4. Tap Done. If you change the type to Formula, set up the formula and tap Save.

Changing the type changes how the value appears. The original value is kept until you edit the value in a record.

You can’t change the type of an existing relation or change another type to a relation. Add a new relation field to choose records to link.

If you see a message that the collection contains field types created in a newer version of the app, update Clastly to the latest version in the App Store. If you purchased Clastly Pro but can’t edit formulas, relations, or rollups, see Clastly Pro features aren’t available after purchase.

Delete or restore a field

  1. In the collection editor, tap the field you no longer need.
  2. Tap Delete Field. The field leaves the regular field list.
  3. To bring it back, tap the field under Deleted Fields in the collection editor.
  4. Tap Restore. The field returns to the field list.
