Yup, because those datatypes store data in different column of the record in cmsPropertyData. All you need to do is make sure that values for both columns (dataNvarchar and dataNtext) are copied for each of those documents.
Nothing can go awfully wrong, as you're not changing anything, only copying data from one column to the other.
But he, always back up first so if anything goes wrong, you still have a backup!!
Safely change property type from Textstring to Richtext editor
Is there a way to do that kind of a change without losing data?
I've noticed that it's possible from Textbox multiple to Richtext but not from Textstring.
Even change from Textstring to Textbox multiple leads to the data loss.

Dirk,
I'm not sure how to interpret your answer. Does it mean there is only programmatic way to do that? Or is it the database statement I need to execute?
I was wondering if I could do that from the Settings dashboard...
is working on a reply...
