If you want to keep the data that is in the field you could use the
Change ID utility from Community Downloads to change the ID of the
existing field.  Then create the new DO field with the same ID as the
original field.

Nope.  You gotta delete it and recreate it, because DO fields are stored
differently in the DB metatables.  As long as you use the same field ID,
and replace it before modifying that workflow, workflow won't be
affected (except for workflow that won't run on DO fields, like Set
Fields actions).

The alternative is to make it appear to be display only, which you can
easily do with the field properties and/or Change Fields actions in an
Active Link.

Is there a way to change a field to 'display only' once you have created
it?

Thanks!
