Type Conversion Line Type

Generally, when a line type is set on a line, it cannot be changed.

However, the only exception is that when using actions, manual lines can be converted to calculation lines and vice versa.

If a manual line on a main budget is converted to a calculation line, then a subbudget is created containing two lines: a sum line and a subordinate manual line. The calculation line is set to refer to the sum line and the previous amounts of the calculation line are copied to the manual line on the subbudget. If a manual line on a subbudget is converted, then no additional subbudget is created and the calculation line is not set to refer to any other line.

If a calculation line referring to a line on a subbudget is converted to a manual line and no other line refers to a line on the same subbudget, then the subbudget is deleted.

In both types of conversion, any distribution values are reset but the periodic and total amounts are maintained.
