How to convert a "Single line text" column into "Person or Group" column in SharePoint.
1 Answer
You cannot change the type of column after the column is created.
However, if you have names present in "Single line text" column then you can create a "Person or Group" column.
- Keep them aside by modifying the display position.
- Under "Quick Edit", copy and paste the name values of "Single line text" column to "Person or Group" column.
