Unfortunately, it has been decided that this feature is in the too hard basket for the moment to be implemented. The reason given - the new implementation of multilingual content and the way that is treated is different to V7 and the code can't be just copied across.
Disappointing as this was a very useful feature in Umbraco 7. Hopefully they'll have the capacity to implement in future versions.
Change Document Type in Umbraco 8
I've noticed in Umbraco 8 there is no option to "Change Document Type" when editing a page in the tree (Under the menu Do Something Else).
Does anyone know if this feature will come back or if it's gone for good or if kind of work is recommended now to be handled in a different way.
It was a very handy and useful feature.
Hi Mathew
It seems the action exists here, but has been commented out for now: https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/blob/dev-v8/src/Umbraco.Web/Actions/ActionChangeDocType.cs
I guess it is because the old one was using WebForms and it needs to be re-written with Angular + Web API in Umbraco 8.
The other actions have Angular views and controllers, which exits here: https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/tree/91c52cffc8b7c70dc956f6c6610460be2d1adc51/src/Umbraco.Web.UI.Client/src/views/content
It would be great if you submit an issue here: https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/issues

Thanks for looking into it. I'll create the issue.
FYI, this was further discussed here..
