Allow moving custom fields between Contact, Opportunity, and Business/Company groups
N
Noah Sargent
Currently, once a custom field is created and assigned to a specific object group (Contact, Opportunity, or Business/Company), it cannot be moved to a different object group.Please add the ability to move (or reassign) an existing custom field from one object type/group to another (e.g., from Contact → Opportunity, Opportunity → Business, etc.).
Why this is needed: Business requirements often evolve. A field that was originally created under Contacts may later need to live on Opportunities or the Business/Company object.
Right now the only workaround is to create a duplicate field, update all forms/workflows/automations, and migrate data — which is time-consuming and error-prone.
This feature would give much more flexibility when refining CRM structure without losing existing data or having to rebuild everything.
Ideal behavior would include a simple “Move to…” option when editing a field, with clear confirmation about any data implications.
Thank you for considering this improvement!
