Force Copy Operation for Properties in Node Type Converters

A Force Copy operation is available for node type converters to copy default, derived, and inherited values for properties of source nodes to their corresponding nodes of a different node type.  These property values are not stored for the source nodes but become stored values for the target node once copied during node type conversion.  The Force Copy operation will also copy any defined or derived and stored property values from source to target nodes.  This operation can be used when manually inserting nodes across viewpoints, creating request items from compare results, and generating subscription request items where node type converters are applicable.

Business Benefit: Default, inherited, and derived property values for nodes in a source viewpoint can be copied as defined property values to similar nodes of a different node type in a target viewpoint.
