How/Can I override a field type in a different stream?
Created 8 years ago by daviesgeekI am trying to change the field type in a different stream namespace. Is this possible and if so, how can I do this?
Use case: I'm trying to use the forum module, but I'd like to change the posts to a WYSIWYG field instead of just a text box. I'd prefer not to have to fork it, but rather just create a migration that'll change it.
As of right this moment changing is not supported - but you can delete the field - then create / assign your own with the same name.
Good thought on that btw - I like that idea.
@ryanthompson Thanks! What would be the best way to delete the field in a migration so it can be easily migrated and then rolled back?

You will wanna use the repository methods.
1.) Delete the field 2.) Create the field 3.) Assign the field (hint, you'll need the stream)
