Can I make an alternative branch the trunk in fossil

Question

Is it possible to change the tag on a branch to make it replace the trunk without merging?

Update: I solved it, I also see now that it doesnt matter trunk is nothing more than a name, you can close it and use another.

Found the answer. Its very simple.

IN Web ui

Go to the current trunk, select its current leaf and under other links select edit.
Select Cancel Special Tag Trunk and Click update.

Go to the current leaf of the branch you wish to make the trunk and select edit.
Select "Add the following new tag name to this check-in:" and add tag 'Trunk'
Select update. Your selected branch is now also labeled trunk.
