    Change document type property from Label to Textstring

    Templates and document types

    I'm trying to change a Label document type property to a Textstring type so that it becomes editable. Changing it goes without problems but when trying to edit the Textstring property it is not showing the value that was assigned to the Label before. Just shows an empty textbox. When I change the property back to a Label the values (integer) are back again.

    I have tried something similar to this, and I don't think you can change a data type and keep the content of the first data type.

    @Kim, you can, but I think it only works on some data types. For example I've switched from TextBoxMultiple to RichtextEditor with no problems (other than the line breaks vanishing).

    Hmm...okay cool. Nice to know actually. Haven't tried with that much different data types, but great to hear that it's possible in some situations :)
