Microsoft Idea · Power Query: Allow users to choose data type with any Add Column functions (powerbi.com)

When adding Columns in Power Query there is no option to choose the data type, so columns are added as untyped.

Users are left to add another step, or manually edit the function to set the optional columnType parameter.

In all of the Add Column windows (Custom Column, Conditional Column, Column from Examples) I would like to see a drop-down where a type can be chosen to populate that columnType.
