Be able to convert measurable to binary or vice-versa

[KeronCyst]

If going from measurable to binary, change all completed days to a 1; all others (including partial days) become 0.

If going from binary to measurable, the conversion process would prompt you to set all completed days to a value of your choosing (and otherwise set them as 1).

I think the hard problem overall is changing goals: once you change a goal, your previous checkmarks are not accurate anymore. I personally just archive the habit and create a new one in this case, but it's annoying.

At least an option to convert from binary to measurable which defaults to "1" for every checkmark would be nice.

I personally went through this recently and converted a habit for myself using code, so I agree it's a nice feature to have! I can help out if people want to do it manually for now.

[ggurbet]

Can you post a guide about how to do it?

Yeah tell us how please
I'm also having this issue

As a programmer I would like to tackle this challenge, but It requires exporting and importing, and importing is currently bugged for me on Android 13

I just started out with Habits and found the same issue. Some habits that I didn't know I wanted to count cardinally, I created as Yes/No. For example that I took my vitamin pills today. But the doctor suggested I should take two vitamin pills per day so now I can't record which days I ate one and which two. Floating point is of course no issue here, and the daily goal just changed from "Every day" to "2 per day". I don't see the problem.

I just make two for this kind of thing. AM and PM

I have some "Yes/No" habits that I didn't expect to perform multiple times per day (so it also hooks into #1299) and now I'm forced to use notes for that (which can't be exported because of #1567)
