    L.S,

    To make the contact and account forms more intuitive and compact, I changed a field with 4 checkbox options to a (required) dropdown menu with the same 4 values. Since there are already thousands of forms filled in with one of the 4 checkbox values, I'm looking for a way to transfer those values to a choice in the new dropdown menu. I have not deleted the old checkbox field yet.

    Can anyone please point me in the right direction of how to achieve this?

    Thanks in Advance,

    Thomas

    Hi Zommes,

    I will suggest create one console application  which connects to your CRM organization.

    1.Get All the Accounts/Contacts records where  Checkbox value is checked.

    2. Get this Checkbox Value.

    3. Update your OptionSet field (dropdown) based on the above value.

    Hope this helps.
