   While this will definitely be a very useful feature, we need to be careful with the implementation here. From a user experience point of view, I think it'd be a better experience if we simply combine the _Data Type_ and _Advanced Data Type_ column into one dropdown and allow users to coerce column types to any standard and advanced types (similar to Tableau). We should also make it very clear when values are displayed as originals and when are they translated, otherwise it could cause confusions. For example, it seems currently the filter search and dropdown values can be a mix of raw values and the translated values, which feels fragile and could produce unexpected results depending on the data types.
   
   However, I do agree current implementation in the POC is the most straightforward and we can always iterate as long s this is behind a feature flag.
