Enable global/local config to set the default formatting for Data Type

Scenario

Data Table with a date-type column, formatted as YYYY-MM-DD - e.g., 2023-06-20.


Goal

Convert the date to string, with format retained.


Current State

Two-step workaround:

1. Convert Date format to YYYY-MM-DD via Data > Column property.

2. Change data type via Data in Analysis module, from Date to String.


Ideal State

A setting, globally or locally to set the default formatting for Data Type.
