I'm not sure in what way it could lead to causing the user to create errors,
but even if there were, I'd hope the function could either:
1) check and adjust to use the new edited value wherever it was previously
used, or
2) offer to create a new field with the new properties.

In either case, if there's only a single use, I suspect no errors could be
caused.

But you would all know better than me about the consequences and effects.
