Update (and convert) a step type?

I hope some of you TestStand guys can help me here:

I have a problem with updating a step type and at the same time preserving the settings from the sequence files. How to do this?

My old step type has now been used in many sequence files. The step type has a lot of settings that are stored in the context tree.  I now have a new version of the step type where some of the entries in the context tree has changed (some are deleted and replaced by new ones). When I load the old sequences with my new step type I'm asked if I want to use currently loaded (=convert) or use the sequence file. But none of these possibilities preserves the customers settings since in both cases some of the original settings will get lost (replaced by default values) or will not be accessible.

How do I upgrade all the old sequence files to a new step type AND convert the old settings to the new version of the step type? The conversion may need some code to execute - it is not just moving properties around.

Thansk in advance.
