Easy change of underlying data type

Change of data type in the data panel is not doing a good job. Decimals from a database are imported as currency, and converting that to a number does not convert the underlying data type. Neither is it possible to convert text to numeric or numeric to text - its actually pretty  useless for anything but geocoding.
