I have tried it already . It didn't work.
Okay, it looks like you'll need to do a couple of additional steps to get this going the first time. Create your new field like this in your table creator...
Next, you'll need to update the 'write' ACL for the 'sys_glide_object' table to allow you to make the 'Email' value visible and selectable when changing field types. You can do this by navigating to 'System Security -> ACLs' in your left nav and finding the 'sys_glide_object' ACL for the 'write' operation. Once it's open you'll want to check the 'Admin overrides' checkbox and update the ACL.
Once that's done you should be able to navigate to 'sys_glide_object.list' using the search bar at the top of your left nav to open the 'Field class' table and find the 'Email' object. Open that record and check the 'Visible' checkbox.
Finally, open up the dictionary entry by clicking on the field name from the related list in the table creator form like this...
Once you're in the dictionary you can adjust the 'Type' field from 'String' to 'Email' and save.
Also note that once you've enabled the 'Email' option, this will be selectable for any new fields created from that point on. You don't have to go into the dictionary as a separate step, just select it as you're creating the field.
Please mark this answer as correct if I've answered your question. Thanks!
