Currently, when an item type is changed, some fields may be lost as the following message tells:

And reciprocally, if, when the item type is changed a new field is present for which there is information in the Extra field , then it would move from Extra to it.For example, let's say Publisher field inside Extra field for a journal article.And I update the item type to Book.Then the Publisher information would be kept in the Publisher field, instead of the Extra field
