Changing an element type to InformationItem

[Modesto Vega]

I am trying to use Element\Manage\Change Type to change some element types to InformationItem, and having no success. I am guessing that InformationItem is not a "base type" but an extension of a base type.

Is there a workaround?

InformationItem is a metatype. I guess it should be possible to change an element into that. If not, you can use scripting and change t_object.object_type to "InformationItem".

Yeah, they forgot the InformationItem in the Change Type dialog.

I think I reported that issue back in 2009

So if you can be bothered change it via script or database update, if not you'll have to replace the elements with new InformationItems

And as usual: XMI export, edit, import...
