Is there a way to migrate data from the Obsolote Feature Classic Custom Frield to the Custom Field?

Yes - see Upgrade button: Custom Fields - Manager.io

hallo lubos, tried this already yesterday.
upgrade does work for date fields, text fields → single line and paragraph
but it does not offer text - dropdown fields for upgrade
will that also be possible in the future before classic custom fields
will be removed from the settings ?

Lubos provided a solution to this in another thread.

Yes. You are right. Multiple Value Custom Fields is completely new concept and it doesn’t have equivalent to classic customy fields. Those classic custom fields are still just text fields. I will improve the upgrade process so they can be upgraded.

But if you want to move them over now, you can change your classic custom field so it’s Single Line Text. Convert it. Then enable drop-down list on new upgraded Text Custom Field.

I did this yesterday and it works. You need to copy your drop down list before you change it to a single line text or it vanishes, do the upgrade, go into the new custom fields and change it to a drop-down list again and paste your list back in. It’s a bit of fiddling around but I only had a handful to upgrade and it didn’t take very long.

The latest version (23.10.19) is improved so drop-down custom fields can be upgraded directly using Upgrade button.
