    I don't think updating the type of a constant is possible. Neither from the OOTB smart services nor using any plugin as of today.

    That is only to update the value. Not the type. 

    Here is the documentation - https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/22.2/Update_Constant_Smart_Service.html#:~:text=The%20Update%20Constant%20Smart%20Service,constant%20with%20the%20new%20value.


    If you are trying to update the value of a constant, it should work fine, provided you have appropriate rights. Check the documentation for more.

    Did you see any error messages? Has your user the right permissions?
