Modifing Custom Characteristics Kind Types

We created some custom Characteristics/Attributes to describe data sets. After some review we realized we needed to change Kind from Selection or Text to Multi-Select. Is there a way to keep the current Resource Id when creating the new Attribute/Kind so we don’t loose previous entries or relations?

You can’t modify the AttributeKind of an AttributeType.

But you can delete the current AttributeType, and create a new one with the same ID. Use the rest-api for this.

Of course, you’ll only maintain the resource-id of the AttributeType. You’ll lose the current attributes during the deletion. (Take an export + re-import if you need keep them)
