Allow the data type of PI Points to be set manually with PI connector for OPCUA

[Background]
We know that when use PI Connetor for OPCUA, the data type of the PI Point is synchronized with the OPC server settings.
But we would like to set deferent one.
e.x.)
-Datatype of OPC Server tag : "String"
-Data type wanted to be set for the PI Point : "Int" or "Digital"
Reference:)
Knowledge (osisoft.com)

We understand that the fundamental solution is to convert data types on the OPC server, but it is difficult due to various restrictions.

[Request&Idea]

Plan A.
 ・Allow to change the pointtype setting of PI Points in PI DA.
 (it means, allows to turn off the synchronization setting of "pointtype" in the PI Conncetor)
Plan B.
 ・Implement data type conversion functions in the PI Connector
