Report Level Measures Data Type to default based on return value

Currently, when creating report level measures on live dataset connections, the measure's data type always defaults to Number, even when the return value is clearly text. In my experience, many of my report level measures are actually text values I'm using for conditional formatting or titles, if I'm creating a numeric measure I do this in the original dataset most of the time as it's usually something helpful for every report, whereas the text measures are typically more report specific.

Would be great if the default formatting behaved the same as normal measures (ie base on the return value).
