How do I copy content from a text column to a link column?

We have a text column that should have been created as a link column.

All the data in the column is valid links.

How can we replace this with a link column?

Hi @mfriedma :wave:

Thanks so much for writing into us with this!
At the moment it isn’t possible to natively convert the Text column into a Link column I’m afraid.
That said, I’d love to know a little more about your workflow and how this fits into this.
I ask this because URL’s that have been added to the Text column should work much the same as they would in the Link column.
You should still be able to click on the URL’s to open them in another tab as you would with the Link column.

I would love to hear more about your use case, to get a better understanding of your needs, and make better suggestions :slight_smile:

Best,

Dani
