Global custom fields and queues

I’ve recently migrated an RT system from Windows (3.0.12) to Linux
(3.4.2).

Within the installation there are two Global Custom Fields. I’m setting
up a queue within RT that I do not want or need these Global Custom
Fields for.

Is it possible to either

a) Hide the Global Custom Fields from this queue but still use other
custom fields?
Or
b) Convert the Global Custom Fields to normal Custom fields for the 3
queues I’d like them to be in without losing the 3500 some odd tickets
that I’ve got data for?

The wiki and the archive have very little to go on for this.

Configuration → Custom Fields → (select CF ) →
Applies To → ( apply to specific queues)

Configuration → Global → Custom Fields → Tickets →
(Deselect CFs you no longer want global)

There is no way to set a CF as global except for
certain queues.

Thanks very much. This worked great!!!

The way the texts I have read on global custom fields reads appeared to
indicate that they were a bit different. Thanks for setting me straight
on this.
