Steps ...

2 -- Create Tiddler called "Misery" With the "text" THIS IS CONTENT... Save.

3 - Filter to and select it ...

4 -- Navigate to Fields > Add fields. Field name:"type", field value:"text/plain". Click "Add New Fields ...

RESULT: The Content Type is correctly changed. BUT the "text" field is deleted.

UPDATE: Birthe pointed out it can work without destroying the "text" field so long as you do NOT fill in the Content Type.

I tested that and it is a WORK-AROUND to (a) Add Field "type" (but not content type), then (b) Set field value of "type" to "text/plain".

Best wishes

TT,

You Can do it.

Add field type - do not fill out value,

Then go to set field value - and now you are able to chose type, fill out the value and enter.

Tiddler Misery get af type=text/plain and the text is intact.

Not really logic, but I know you have lots of miseries ;-)

Dear Detective Birthe (my emphasis) ...

That is EXACTLY IT.

Are you April MacKenzie?

Now all my Misery share their type.

I will revise my note to Mohammad accordingly.

Many thanks!
