Does anybody have an idea? How could I preset the type field of an 
inline record, while not showing the type field as "public"?

The scenario is the following:

After creating a record "product" it is possible to change it's type. (A 
product is of a certain type.) Now it's possible to add articles to the 
product, which are just inline records. Those also have a type field 
which should always be the same as the type field of the parent product. 
Is there any solution for this?

Thanks a lot,
Thomas
