Hello,
populateDefaults function populate a Content field with HTMLText with default data at page creation. But this should not populate when the page is already created and page type is changed.
function overrides the content already present . I moved HTMLText to static defaults Content and the issue is solved.
populateDefault ideally shouldn't override your content - which version of SilverStripe are you using and could you provide a code example some we can see if the same problem happens elsewhere. If it can be validated as a bug we can log a github issue.
