Remarks

Changes an auxiliary function into a main function by assigning the "Main function" property to the auxiliary function. The auxiliary function is changed into a main function. The original main function is then converted to an auxiliary function. Converting function to main function adopts properties from old to new main function based on parameters passed to method.

This method makes no changes to functions which are transient or their category is Terminal or ArticlePlacement. For such functions it returns false.
