Q: How to change column type of SharePoint online list using JSOM? I want to change the column type of list using JSOM. The type of column "Billable" is Boolean and I need to change the type of column to "Single line of text".
Is there any method to change the type of column?
Here is code:
var oFields, clientContext;
function UpdateListField() {
    // You can optionally specify the Site URL here to get the context
    // If you don't specify the URL, the method will get the context of the current site
    // var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext("http://MyServer/sites/SiteCollection");
    clientContext = new SP.ClientContext(appUrl);

    var web = LawApp.Repositories.getWeb(clientContext, hostUrl);

    var olistCollection = web.get_lists();

    var oList = olistCollection.getByTitle("ODMatter");

    oFields = oList.get_fields();

    clientContext.load(oFields);

    // Execute the query to the server.
    clientContext.executeQueryAsync(onsuccess, onfailed);
}

function onsuccess() {

    // Iterate through Enumerator
    var oEnumerator = oFields.getEnumerator();

    while (oEnumerator.moveNext()) {
        var oField = oEnumerator.get_current();

        // Enter the field name here
        if (oField.get_title() == "Billable") {
            oField.FieldType("text");
            oField.update();
            break;
        }
    }

    // Execute the query to the server.
    clientContext.executeQueryAsync(FinalQuerySuccess, FinalQueryFailure);

}

function onfailed(sender, args) {
    console.log('Failed' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
}

function FinalQuerySuccess(sender, args) {
    updateCurrentVersion();
    console.log('Success');
}

function FinalQueryFailure(sender, args) {
    console.log('Failed' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
}

A: You need to use SP.Field.set_typeAsString () method to change the column type, below is my sample:
var list = web.get_lists().getByTitle("Mylist");
field = list.get_fields().getByInternalNameOrTitle("Billable");
field.set_typeAsString("Text");
field.update();

Firstly, Return on Equity, or ROE, is simply the percentage of last years' earning against the book value of shareholders' equity. For example, if the company invests $1 in the form of equity, it will generate $0.01 in earnings from this. Generally speaking, a higher ROE is preferred; however, there are other factors we must also consider before making any conclusions.
The first component is profit margin, which measures how much of sales is retained after the company pays for all its expenses. The other component, asset turnover, illustrates how much revenue Westell Technologies can make from its asset base. The most interesting ratio, and reflective of sustainability of its ROE, is financial leverage. Since ROE can be inflated by excessive debt, we need to examine Westell Technologies's debt-to-equity level. Currently, Westell Technologies has no debt which means its returns are driven purely by equity capital. This could explain why Westell Technologies's' ROE is lower than its industry peers, most of which may have some degree of debt in its business.
While ROE is a relatively simple calculation, it can be broken down into different ratios, each telling a different story about the strengths and weaknesses of a company. Westell Technologies's ROE is underwhelming relative to the industry average, and its returns were also not strong enough to cover its own cost of equity. However, ROE is not likely to be inflated by excessive debt funding, giving shareholders more conviction in the sustainability of returns, which has headroom to increase further. Although ROE can be a useful metric, it is only a small part of diligent research.
Valuation: What is Westell Technologies worth today? Is the stock undervalued, even when its growth outlook is factored into its intrinsic value? The intrinsic value infographic in our free research report helps visualize whether Westell Technologies is currently mispriced by the market.
