Convert Select component to Multiselect or other select inputs

It would be great if the Select component could be converted into Multiselect and vice versa, or to other select inputs.

I've encountered it too often when requirements change and I need to rebuild select components. :disappointed:

Hi @ferret141,

This feature is already available in Retool!

You can easily switch a Select component to other types like Multiselect, Listbox, or Radio Group with just a few clicks.

Similarly, you can convert a Multiselect component to Select, Checkbox Group, Switch Group, and more.

Just select the component and use the dropdown at the top of the inspector panel to change its type.

This makes it much easier to adapt to changing requirements without rebuilding your components from scratch.
