Feature Request: Change Field Type

If I accidentally create a text field, I should be able to change it to a password, url, email,...
I know I commented just a couple weeks ago, but today I had to add about 10 fields to one entry. The whole "click, select field type, click, enter field name, click, enter field value" is really really cumbersome. In 1P7, you just click 10 times to add 10 fields, then use
In other words, the usability of the new UI is seriously lacking, especially for anyone who attempts to live hands-on-keyboard (no/minimal mouse/track-pad). Please reconsider the UI around adding fields and make sure you have some real UX folks on the team to provide feedback.
As I've started adding to all of my posts on 1P8 missing or broken features, please don't take my negative comments as a indictment of the entire effort, but do reconsider the usability of the tool - you clearly put a lot of effort into the new UI, but not enough on usability testing. Fix the broken issues. Add back in the missing features. Let your then your once-again happy customers like me become your advocates for the new version. Until then, I'm still recommending to everyone I know and all my employees that they stick with 1P7. It's a superior tool form a usability perspective.
