to go through a list of derived types and see which type the unknown type is?

You already have its type ID right there, so you know what it is. Am I missing something that you think is obvious but isn't?

I still need to modify a field from the unknown type

You can check for and set a field like this.
Local fooble:Foo = New Foo
Local id:TTypeID = TTypeID.ForObject( fooble )
Local someField:TField = id.FindField("someField")

If someField Then
    someField.Set( fooble, "0.25" )
EndIf

Just to make a point, all of this is in the documentation.
