Change attribute without losing data

Hey so I have a collection that has a "due" attribute now I have over 2K+ documents and noticed that I made it an integer instead of a float and we need it to be a float/double is there a way I could fix this without losing data, I'm obv asking if there is a straight way 🙂

I think that unfortunately not. You will need to create a script that copies the old attribute into the new column

So will have to do this the hard way
