Hello everyone, I have the following question and would appreciate any help you can provide on this matter. I need to make a change to a type of custom field in a subsidiary in Netsuite. Previously, I made a similar change to another field and lost the stored data from some time ago. Now, because of this, I find myself needing to back up this data before making the change to avoid losses. Could you please guide me on whether it is necessary to proceed with a backup of the data before making the change in the custom field of the subsidiary in Netsuite? And if so, how should I proceed in this situation to ensure the integrity of the data? Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Note that when ever you change the "TYPE" of a custom field all data will be lost, default system behavior. Back up your data - create a saved search get the values use that search result again to repopulate the changed fields

Thank you for your prompt and valuable response, it was very helpful.
