Changing datatype of an attribute in RTC project area

Hello,
           I have changed the data type of an attribute from Large String to Medium String in project area

           Major reason is because I wanted attribute to be appearing in work-item queries - condition (as large string is not supported in WI query conditions.).

          Even after changing to Medium String datatype, I can’t find this attribute in work-item queries - condition, because I believe attribute of data type large string is already existing in the database.
           
            Let me know if there is a solution to make it work (searchable) in project areas instead of renaming/changing the ID of that attribute .

 After you created an attribute, you can not just change the type as far as I know. What you can do is:

  1. Change the display name of the attribute e.g. ThisAttributeWasDeprecated
  2. Create a new attribute NewAttribute
  3. Use some automation e.g. csv import/export or the APIs to copy the value from the old to the new  attribute
  4. Remove the old attribute after all data has been moved.
