Hey team, i have an entity that has a DATE value. When I convert it to a different entity type all the fields with the same name copies across in the convert, however I noticed the DATE does not come across and is lost. I think this is because the entity type its converting to has a DATE field plus a time stamp. Screenshots attached below of DUE DATE in two different entities.

During convert, would it be possible to get a DATE with no time still copy over to a DATE + TIME in the new entity type? but maybe set the time to midday local time or something as default?

The Convert function relies on fields having the same name _and_ type, so it’s not so much a bug, but rather a missing feature to allow type changes during conversion.  
I’ve updated this topic to become a feature request.
