Keep in mind: You can always modify the type of the field type. For example, you can change the type from Value to Text. However, field values that were linked to the field type when the type was defined as Value will automatically be deleted. If the field type has been linked to a competency or resume type, the existing data of applicants or employees who have that competency linked to their competency profiles or who have that resume type linked to their resume items will be removed. This applies to all types of field types. Thus it is advisable not to change the types of the field types to prevent data loss.
