Hi there,

Thats correct, its not allowed. You can create a new field, and drop this one as alternative.

Don't think this will be possible. 

You can create a ne field,

Copy value form original to this via script, if needed.

Drop original field, or remove from the form.

Change label of new field to make is same as old one.
