Eeschema: Update and Change Symbol in right-click context menu a la Pcbnew (lp:#1827711)
Original report created by Michal (mikon)
When working with a libray of Fully specified symbols(parts), it would be
beneficial to have an easy way of changing between these symbols.
E.g. when need to change resistor value, instead of just edit Value fields
one need to select another part (another resistor with different value).
An easy way to do so (like a possibility to update all Symbol's fields
after choosing new part from the library) would be nice.
If it's necessary to make it posssible to swap symbol without swapping
field data (as it is now, requires another Update fields action to update
field's contents), maybe it would be possible to add a checkbox "Update all
fields on symbol change" (of course, except for the Reference designator if
the same family (e.g. resistor to resistor) since we just replace a
particular part with another.
Functionality similar to "Pick new part" in Ltspice.
