Changing a string field to a text field in Sanity.io

Hi there! How should I do, having a long long

string

to override the

string

standard container height so that I can see the whole string content.

Hi François! The easiest thing to do in this case is to make it a

text

type field instead where you will have access to the

rows

property to set the number of rows you’d like to show (default: 10). Bear in mind that you’d have to migrate existing content though when making a schema type change.
For more info on the text type:

Thanks!I'm going to do that!
Is there a way to migrate existing content easily?
I am learning from scratch, I therefore makes lots of mistakes, if there is one, I'll like to know...

Actually, there shouldn’t be any issues with changing a

string

type field to a

text

type field because the actual data type (still a string) doesn’t change in this case 👍

Thanks!

For other cases, are some tools existing?

Yes, normally you would export, reshape and import your data or, better if you don’t want to interrupt the work of your editors, use a migration script. There’s more information and an example on this page: https://www.sanity.io/docs/migrating-data . There are more examples out there though, so feel free to ask if you ever run into this 🙂

Wah! Thank you☆I'm going to have a look at this.
Have a very good day!

And you too, François! 👍
