Here's a sample ALTER script

ALTER TABLE `dict_table`
ADD COLUMN `is_int_boolean` TINYINT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 AFTER `revised_user`,
ADD COLUMN `is_char_boolean` CHAR(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'Y' AFTER `is_int_boolean` ;

After importing columns,
- cannot update is_int_boolean to BOOLEAN
- can update is_char_boolean to BOOLEAN

if I UPDATE dict_column.col_type_native to 'tinyint,boolean' then I can change it. I can see from previously imported columns that this used to work in (I think) 1.75

You should *NOT* be changing the dictionary database as it is part of the core product. Experiment on your own application tables until you know what you are doing.
