Revert to Single-User Contact Column from Multi-User Contact

Emma S

Hello,

Experimenting with the new Multi-User Contact Column, I've found out the hard way that it is treated as a separated Column Type. In other words, when running a report I need to have check 2 "Assigned To" columns. I went back to the Sheet that had the "Allow multiple contacts per cell" checkbox checked... and looks like it's not reversible.

Is this by design? Is there anyway I can fix this? If not, please do not leave it as a "Checkbox" which implies choice... would be good to have a warning if this is indeed a permanent thing.

Should I just delete the transformed Contact Column and make a new one?

Thank you!

Emma
