Situation: values exist in multiple, often compatible (multiple text types, multiple number types, &c), formats, e.g. REG_SZ vs. REG_EXPAND_SZ vs. REG_MULTI_SZ.

Experienced: if we want to change the type, we would have to put the data into the clipboard, delete the old value, create a new one of the new type, and paste the old data.

Expected: quick menu option to change the data type with a single step.

Simple switching (between string types; between numeric types) has been implemented.
More sophisticated switching (binary to string, string to binary, number to binary, binary to number) will probably have to wait until I find some spare time ;)
