"I accidentally exported a field value as a Metric when it should have been a Dimension, and now I cannot convert it."
Once a variable has been exported to Insights as either a Metric or Dimension, it cannot be changed at a later date. Even if the data is removed from Insights and the Datatap endpoint deleted, if re-exported with a different data type (in this case a Dimension), it will still show up in Insights as it was initially imported (a Metric).
In order to overcome this, if a variable is accidentally exported with the wrong data type, it will be necessary to re-export it with correct datatype (Dimension), but a new and different name.
