Change LSCS EA attribute type from single value to multivalue

We have an Extended attribute that has by mistake been set as a single value attribute of type string, this is resulting in incorrect query results. Is there an easy way to make this EA multivalued attribute without deleting the entire project.

What tagger are you using? TagUI?

If so, then yes, you can change it. Just be aware that whatever value is currently there in the single field, still needs to be present as one of the options in the multiple select field - otherwise it will be lost next time you try an tag the page/object.

In my experience, if I change a EA to MVF (lscs-authoring.xml), then I need to delete the Runtime LSCS project and republish all content to that runtime.

Note that in 7.3.2 LSCS preview, the lscs-authoring.xml has no effect and you instead have to change Search/etc/Fieldmapping.xml)

All undocumented!
