Two data loss considerations when changing a custom field type from Text to Picklist are:

Assignment and escalation rules may be affected, because the values in the picklist may not match the values that were previously entered in the text field, and the rules may not trigger as expected.

Any list view based on the custom field is deleted, because the filter criteria for the list view may not be valid for the new field type, and the list view cannot be displayed. There will be no data loss with use of a global value set or auto updates to Visualforce references, because these are not related to changing a custom field type from Text to Picklist.

To ensure extra steps only appear when creating open house records for condominiums, an administrator can use two methods: create two page layouts; and use business processes and record types to display appropriate picklist values. A page layout is a feature that allows administrators to control how fields, related lists, buttons, etc., are arranged on a record detail or edit page for each object. An administrator can create two page layouts for open house records - one for houses and one for condominiums - and include different fields or sections for each page layout based on their requirements. A business process is a feature that allows administrators to define and enforce stages that records must go through based on their record type such as lead status or opportunity stage. A record type is a feature that allows administrators to offer different business processes, picklist values, page layouts etc., to different users based on their profile or role. An administrator can create two record types for open house records - one for houses and one for condominiums - and assign different business processes and picklist values for each record type based on their requirements.

Two considerations when installing a managed package in a sandbox are:

The installation link has to be modified to test.salesforce.com, because the default installation link points to login.salesforce.com which is for production orgs. To install a package in a sandbox org, the administrator has to replace login with test in the installation URL before clicking it.

The package will be removed any time the sandbox is refreshed, because refreshing a sandbox replaces its current data and metadata with those from its source org. If the source org does not have the package installed, then the sandbox will lose it after refresh. Any metadata changes to the package do not have to be recreated in production, because they are preserved during upgrades unless overwritten by the package developer. Install for Admins Only is not the only install option available; there are also Install for All Users and Install for Specific Profiles options.
