I just test this with a simple app using SQLite database and it seems that it doesn't quite work.
It appears it will truncate the string data that exists in the string field. Specifically it will remove the first and last character of whatever is in the string field. For example: "hello" -> "ell" "something" -> "omthin" "world" -> "orl" Migration back from list:string to string will preserve the existing list:string data in the web2py representation: "hello", "world" -> "|hello|world|" "one", "two" -> "|one|two|" On Monday, January 13, 2014 3:34:47 PM UTC-5, User wrote: > Does a migration from a 'string' field to a 'list:string' field preserve > string data that is already in the database and convert it to the format > required by list:string? > -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
