# Mutate Type

Mutates the type of a value in the record.

## Example

This example shows how to use the MutateType transformation to change the type of a value in a record.

```json
{
	"operation": "mutate_type",
	"arguments": {
		"key": "field1",
		"type": "integer"
	}
}
```

Given the input record:

```json
{
	"field1": "123",
	"another_field": "another_value"
}
```

The output record will be:

```json
{
	"field1": 123,
	"another_field": "another_value"
}
```

This example shows how to change the type to a boolean:

```json
{
	"operation": "mutate_type",
	"arguments": {
		"key": "field2",
		"type": "boolean"
	}
}
```

Given the input record:

```json
{
	"field2": "true",
	"another_field": "another_value"
}
```

The output record will be:

```json
{
	"field2": true,
	"another_field": "another_value"
}
```
