Easy button to convert Containers to Control Containers

A client just asked me if there was an easy way to convert regular Containers to Control Containers - unfortunately we have to delete the old container and readd the tools into the new Control Container.

 

What if we could just right click on the regular Container and say "Convert to Control Container"? Or even vice versa?!

Thank you @NicoleJ !

I agree with this!  I also found a pretty easy way to do this in the meantime.

 

Collapse your container, drag a new control container onto the canvas. Drag the collapsed container into the new control container.  Right click the collapsed container and click 'delete container only'.
