Change of field type.

[yandp]

Hello all, 

While trying something, i had accidentally changed a field type from reference to list type.
now i want to change the field type back to reference, there is error as below.

'. Cannot convert from 'List' to 'Reference'.

Any idea how can i resolve this ? like any other method to change field type?

Thank you very much in advanced.

Try to Import XML of that field form another instance to the instance you changed it in.

Like UAT -> DEV

If it is an oob field then maybe form PDI.

If not then any other instance of your client.

Hi @Anurag Tripathi 
thank you for your prompt reply. 
i get the XML form my PROD environment and import to the dev .
However, after that it still show as list not updated to reference field.

Thank you.
