In dev instance - I have a field - u_meets_requirements and type is choice and it has 3 types of choices, so I have 10k records in which field - u_meets_requirements have value from one of this three choices while in test instance where i want to move update set of this change i am getting this error when i preview update set - Type change not allowed. Invalid type conversion for field 'Meets Requirements' on table 'Installed Product'. Cannot convert from 'True/False' to 'Choice'
 
In test instance for field - u_meets_requirements, type is true/false . I have 10k records in which field u_meets_requirements have value as true or false.
 
Possible Solution - This is showing because changing the field type from True/False to Choice involves changing the underlying data structure, which may not be compatible.

 

I think we will have to modify the test instance field to be a "Choice" field with the same options as the dev instance and then Import the data after making this change?
