When the editor is opened for a custom type, currently the native type is displayed in the dropdown menu for type conversion.

As part of the deserialization for the editor, the dropdown menu should be changed to represent the type of object.

This will be a pain to run the bookmarklet. Initial version was moved to branch iss1-1, but might restart.

Menu items in #2 are too hard to automate thanks to Google's obfuscated JavaScript. Will need to write an Apps Script to target menus.

An apps script will be useful anyways to deal with the spreadsheet results.

Will also need to write a custom builder and uploader to keep the source in the repository.

In the editor, new item types are currently inserted into the "Insert" menu, and added to the dropdown of item types when editing each item. However, these links have no actions bound to them.

Items in the insert menu should add a new item (of the native type for each custom item - InputType.nativeType), switch into it via the editor (the automatic action for inserting native items?), switch the dropdown to represent the item, and follow actions defined in a local method (InputType.onNewItem()) to properly set them up, such as changing the name of the field to something the custom checker will notice.

Items in the dropdown menu should use a bound property (InputType.onConvert()) that would be able to keep any contents desired - such as multiple choice items being preserved when switching to "Choose from a List". After converted, the editing interface should be replaced.

Inserting:

• Insert Menu
  • Add hover style
  • Add binding to each element
• InputType
  • onNewItem()

Converting:

• Dropdown menu
  • Add binding to each element
• InputType
  • onConvert()
