About changing document type of an item, without entering data into the required form fields

Hi

Something annoying ...

When changing the document type if the document contains unfilled specific fields (this happens when you copy multiple item without preserving the data) that are mandatory, we must fill in the fields BEFORE order to save the change document type!

Hello

there is not simple solution

e.g. we can disable ALL custom fields, thus form will submit, because disabled fields are not validated
- but this will also disable custom fields that are common between the types,
thus existing values of common fields will be lost

but maybe we can allow form to submit without validation, although this is not best option
- because submiting a form with invalid fields, can cause form save to be aborted and the form to be reload, because fields also do server side validation
and fields are allowed to cancel the form save operation

as this is not a priority, we will not have any such behaviour in v3.0 , maybe in v3.1

Maybe add a second save button (ex Save Type) near "Document type"... If user type this, just validate common field and dont save particular type field and reload...

But as you said, it's not a priority...
