Hi Anurag,
Navigate to the custom object and change field type from Auto Number to Text. After the change, the old/existing records would still keep their Auto Number values so you needn’t worry about losing historical data.
The only thing that I would be worried about is any apps/workflow rules /processes working off the Auto Number field increments.
Hope this helps.

Hi Anurag,
All you need to do is navigate to the custom object and change field type from Auto Number to Text. After the change, the old/existing records would still keep their Auto Number values so you needn’t worry about losing historical data.
The only thing that I would be worried about is any apps/workflow rules /processes working off the Auto Number field increments. If you don’t have those in your org, then go ahead and make the change.
Thanks.
