Is it possible to change the datatype of an attribute after the class has been created? Or do you have to delete the attribute and recreate it?

I'm not 100% sure if it can't be done, but I've never heard of that possibility. I assume its impossible.
Maybe someone else knows for sure...

A new datatype would have to be created. They cannot be changed once they have been added.

There are some ways using import/export to move data from an old datatype to a new one, but because the structure of each datatype is unique, they cannot be changed from one to another.
