An admin needs to change a 'Status__c' field from Text to a Picklist, but the Text field contains values that are not in the desired picklist values. The admin wants to preserve all existing data. What should the admin do?

During the conversion, map each existing text value to a picklist value, adding any new picklist values as needed.

Change the field type directly; Salesforce will automatically create picklist values for any existing text values.

Change the field to a Multi-Select Picklist to preserve all values.

Create a new picklist field, use Data Loader to copy the text values, then delete the old field.
