Editing a profile field follows the same procedures as adding a profile field. Navigate to User Profile Fields->User Profile Field Manager and select <Edit> next to the field you wish to edit.
There are a few points that you must consider when modifying an existing custom profile field.
The first is that profile fields are limited in what other field types that they can be converted to.
z Single-Line Text box can be converted to a Multiple-Line Text box and vice versa
z Multi-Selection Checkbox can be converted to a Multi-Selection Menu and Vice Versa Any other conversions are not supported.
Secondly, a special form is required when modifying the user choices in the two Multi-Selection fields.
