Change Reference type of field to List type

[Vikas6]

If a table has a Reference field and later I changed it to List type, but it doesn't store multiple values. It is behaving as normal Reference field.

any idea, why it isn't working?
How can I solve it without making new field? I dont want to create new field and use script to copy from old field to new field.

Please help. Thanks in advance

Change the field type to String, save it and later change it back to reference field type.
