I have some CPT's already filled using multiple line fields... Now in hindsight I need the Multiple lines to be WYSIWYG so I can use views in them.
Is there a way to change the field type without having to copy/paste all content over again?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - I just checked but conversion of field type of multi-line field to WYSIWYG field type is not supported or allowed. So, unfortunately there is no way I can help you with as such conversion is not permitted.

Thanks for your response Minesh,

Alright, I noticed the conversion option was greyed out... too bad
