Yes. That should be possible if you have access to the DB and you know the
element ID, categoryoptioncombo and attributeoptioncombo of both the old
and new DEs.
The easiest work around for me would be to export the data to CSV and
import into the new DE.

Hi Barnabas,

Thank you for this straightforward workaround. Would it then possible via
SQL view (or another way?) to transfer the existing data of the old DE to
the new one? By doing so, we can also set the empty value to an hypothetic
one, so that the new DE won't contain any null value.

Regards,

Tantely.
