Summary:
I have a storyboard with a table view that currently has static cells in several sections. I have a new requirement that means I need to dynamically hide/show cells based upon application state, so the logical thing to do would be to change the table view to use dynamic cell prototypes instead of a static cell layout.

Unfortunately, when I change the table view's Content property from "Static Cells" to "Dynamic Prototypes", all of the cell prototypes outside of the first section disappear, and I have to recreate them as new cell prototypes, which is time-consuming and error-prone.

It would be nice if switching between Static Cells and Dynamic Prototypes would retain the existing cells.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new project that uses storyboards
2. Create a table view controller, set the content type to "Static Cells", set the number of sections to a value greater than 1, and add cells to the sections.
3. Change the content type to "Dynamic Prototypes".

Expected Results:
I would expect that all the cells I created will still be present as cell prototypes.

Actual Results:
All cells outside of the first section are deleted and cannot be recovered.
