When changing processes, some things change to being inherited from a parent, instead of a manual selection. Changing a field to formula without needing to refactor reports, filters, other formulas, etc would be fantastic!

Similar to how it works with the Name field, but then for other primitive field types as well. Going backwards from formula to primitive might also be valuable.
