How to change control but retain information

Hi

I have an Umbraco 13 website.

One of the document types contains a drop-down which is controlled by the settings section to add and remove available options.

I would like to convert this to something different maybe to a block list so the end admin can maintain the values going forward but would like to retain the existing values and against the record and continue to function as normal after this change.

Is this even possible? If yes how can I do this?

Thanks

You could do it with a custom property editor, I haven’t done that but its possible.
