Need to remove a multi value field

Laserfiche Version 9 Version 8 Search and Retrieval

Good Morning -
 
We have a field that was marked multi value by accident, when it should have been single value.  Then, someone added a two values to at least one of the documents.
 
Now when we try to revert the field back to single value, it issues a warning.
 
What is the best way to identify which documents have more than one entry in a multi value field?  Once we edit the extra values, I assume I'll be able to set the field back to single value -
 
Thanks

You can find these entries by doing the following advanced search:
 
{[]:[Field](2)="*"}
 
Where Field is the name of the field you’re working with. This will return all entries that have at least two values in that multi-value field.
 
Note that this will not return entries that are in the recycle bin. You may want to purge those first before trying to change the field back to a single-value field, or you might get the error again.
 
I hope this helps. Let us know if you have any other questions.
