Select Tool - Bulk change type to forced

[GMG0241]

As part of the options of the select tool, it would be really helpful if the 'Change Field type of Highlighted Fields' included the Forced type which would detect for each highlight field, the current type, and change it to the forced version of that type. Currently we need to go through each column to achieve this, and with a lot of columns (that are not consistent across different sheets, so a .yxft is not suitable) this is a massive pain. It seems fairly straight forward to add this as an option called 'forced' or something alongside the other data types

if you have time to play around, enable the xml mode.

using find and replace and add the forced="True"

Yeah, I took a look at that but the XML only shows changes that you make to the stream, so it's still not useful as I would need to add a unique row of XML for each row in the select tool. I'm not sure about the XML of the actual file itself (when opened in a text editor) but I suspect it's as quick to just manually change all the fields until you have in excess of about 75-100 fields, hence I raised it here :)
