How to change the type from Text to Coded_text?

As a modelling exercise, when trying to create the elements “Symptom name” and “Symptom code” in the health checkup report template, I want to use the data point “Symptom/Sign name” in the openEHR-EHR-OBSERVATION.symptom_sign.v0. But our national specification (based on HL7 CDA) for the health checkup report requires that both the name and code of a Symptom are mandatory. Therefore, how to change its type from Text to Coded_text?

BTW, the data point “Symptom/Sign name” has an advice:

 Symptom name should be coded with a terminology, where possible.

Thanks in advance.

This is done in the template, by adding an external value set to the element.
