Unable to change attribute type from swatch to dropdown

[alena-marchenko]

Preconditions

2. Product attribute is created (Stores > Attributes > Product):

• Catalog Input Type for Store Owner = Visual Swatch
• Scope = Global

3. Created product attribute is added to Default attribute set (Stores > Attributes > Attribute Set)

Steps to reproduce

3. Go to attribute and change "Catalog Input Type for Store Owner" = Dropdown
4. Clear Cache
5. Check product page on frontend

Expected result

Options still displays as visual swatches

Actual result

Options is shown as dropdown
