[BUG]: Changing note type while creating a new card deletes the current content of the fields

[natema]

Checked for duplicates?

• This issue is not a duplicate

Does it also happen in the desktop version?

• This bug does not occur in the latest version of Anki Desktop

What are the steps to reproduce this bug?

• Create a new card
• Write something in the card field (e.g. Front in the Basic type)
• Change the note type (e.g. Basic -> Cloze)

Expected behaviour

The current content of the fields is kept as the input of the fields of the new type, as in the Desktop version.
For example, if the current situation is

Type: Basic
Front: Test Front
Back: Test Back

and the type is changed to Cloze in the Desktop version, then the window shows

Type: Cloze
Text: Test Front
Back Extra: Test Back

while if the type is changed to Cloze in the Android version, then the window shows

Type: Cloze
Text: 
Back Extra:

@natema Was this an issue in previous versions of AnkiDroid?

@david-allison I have a vague memory of seeing it in the past. I should be able to test some old versions next week to confirm.

This may want to be fixed forward with a screen to change the note type. It shouldn't have been living directly in the Note Editor
