Changing a field type

Hello all,

I am in the final steps of configuring CollectionSpace 4.4. I have
relabeled the collection-object-objectProductionPeopleGroup field to be
used for artists or groups of artists who create works in our studios.
(Most of our collection is based from our Artist In Residency program.)

My registrar wants that field to be linked to the term list so that people
records can be created when an artist name is entered. Is there any easy
way to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance!

Tommy,

Great to hear from you, and that you all are using CSpace at the Fabric Workshop and Museum.

Can you use the Object Production Person field instead of Object Production People? Person is already linked to the Person authority, so no config needed. People is generally used for cultures, e.g. Navajo or Maori.

Hope this helps,

Megan
