Can't change the item type
I have tried changing the item type in several of my library items from "journal article" to "interview" and from "journal article" to "blog post", and when I click the Save button, the website displays the moving clock symbol for ever and never actually updates the entry. I get this behavior across different browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Edge). Also, I am able to make other changes without any problem. I am using Windows 10. As you can imagine, this is a critical issue for me. Please help!
uwemuegge: Do you see this with all items, or just some? If you create a new empty item, can you then change its item type?
In the meantime, you can either manually remove fields that you know won't be valid in the other item type (though that won't work for all conversions) or do this in the client, which handles it properly in all cases.
