All Custom Field types are available through the Custom Field Manager.

The following Custom Field types do not support the move, merge, or convert options:

• Files
• Relationship
• Relationship Columns (formerly Rollup fields)
• Tasks

The options to move, merge, and convert Custom Fields are only available for certain Custom Field types. You can refer to each page of this Doc to see which Custom Fields are supported for each action.
