Change Field Type in builderNew feature : Change field type AFTER instanced


With this new feature, you are not forced to remove and recreate your table field when you want to change its type.
It has been a long job to do because the builder was not able to do it due to all the cascade restrictions of the builder (wizards, Icons refresh, Fields tree icons and expandable nodes, ...)


To change a field type :
Open the properties box, and change the 'type' parameter.
Sometimes, the list of possibilities can be restricted by the wizards using the current field you want to modify.

For starters it's just so easy to design an app in a way that I'm used to i.e. database first then views followed by customization. The fork system is pure brilliance from a developer standpoint as I can override things and still add and update my projects with minimal effort! Truly amazing to be able to build components in Joomla using incremental refinement without having to do everything by hand. Thanks for the great tool! I am so much more productive now than ever and I can't imagine building components any other way!!!!
