Rename field in Prisma 2 without data loss

[OliverEvans96]

Hi all,

Just wondering if there's a prisma 2 equivalent for the temporary @rename directive for changing the name of a field without losing its data - as in https://github.com/prisma/prisma-docs-content-v2/blob/master/1.13/develop-prisma-service/workflows/migrations-asdf.mdx

Thanks,
Oliver

Hey @OliverEvans96 👋

Currently there's an open issue for this workflow to be implemented which you can track here

As a workaround for now, you would have to

1. Create a new field and migrate
2. Seed the data from the old to the new field
3. Delete the old field and migrate

Let me know if that helps!

Great, thanks!
