Switching data types for attributes

Hello TerraFrame, I was wondering if there is an easy way to switch between data types for attributes? At the moment there are a series of Text attributes that I’d like to convert to Localized Text attributes, however, I need to reimport all values for these Text attributes into new Localized Text attributes. What makes this a tedious task is that the validity periods for the Text attributes vary greatly, so a bulk import with the start and end dates applicable to the entire imported spreadsheet will not work.

There is not a way to do this now in the GPR application. I added this to the roadmap but for now the only way to automate this would be to write a script which we can discuss with you.

Hi @jlewis, it would be great to discuss this further, perhaps on Slack?

Looking at this more generally, I don’t think this would be a common issue that users would face as data types are normally defined at the very beginning, but the reason we have it with the Laos instance is because the data in the graph was there from before Localized Text was available.

Yes we can talk on Slack.
