No, you cannot change from Multi Select Dropdown control in Add page to Textbox control in Edit page.

Why not, create 2 separate field in the same table. During add mode use fleldA (visible) and update the TEXT value to fieldB (hidden). So, in edit mode, use fieldB (visible) to update fieldA (hidden).

Make sure you won't mess up your data.
