[Koha] How do I change an item's type?

[Jonathan Druart]

Sorry, my previous answer was completely off topic.

You should try with the English interface (not translated).
If it works, it means there is a translation issue, if it still does not
work it is certainly a data problem, double check the value  in your
database (items.itype or biblioitems.itemtype, depending on the pref).
I have tested on 17.05.11 with the sample data and it seems ok.
