    Hi @Janet Czerwinski ,

    Good day! Welcome to Q&A forum.

    Do you mean you want to change the default SharePoint list “Title” column from “Single line of text” column type to “Choice” column type? If yes, unfortunately, there is no out of the box feature to convert the default SharePoint Online “Title” column to other column types.

    You can try to create another choice column and set the choice column to the first column by changing the order of the columns in the view.

    Hope these information helps.
