to
"comma separated text, like tags, shown in the tag browser"
in my Collection column, but it seems I can't do it? (the drop down menu doesn't appear)
I guess the only solution is to delete the column and create a new one, losing the data?

thanks
I think even if you could change it you would lose the data as it is not the same data type. Make a new column and populate it by sorting on the old column before deleting it. Maybe it can be done with search and replace or by exporting and importing the data using a csv file.
