    Shared Field doesn't follow change of source field
    Use case :
    Step 1 : I define a Select Box in a Tracker 1
    Step 2 : I Create a Shared field on tracker 2, field ID is the one of SB define in step 1
    Step 3 : I change the Select Box in a Multi Select Box in tracker 1

    Result : The shared field in tracker 2 is still a SB and not a MSB

    Hello Geoffroy,

    A target field cannot be updated by the user directly, neither its type nor its values. The patch here will propagate to target fields an update done on a source field about type change (from SB to MSB for example) that can be done today on a source field but that is not propagated to target field.

    Are you sure ? The source of a shared field would have a role of providing a set of reference values, while the clone field could be uni- or multi-select as per the target usecase, possibly different from the source usecase.

    Share field type change must be propagated to all target fields.
