Change the format type with the "Action" function

Good morning community, I would like to know what is the correct way to configure the "action" tool so that it changes the type of format within a "select" of a single specific column. In particular I want to be able to choose whether the "Value" column will be "Double" or "FixedDecimal".

It's also fairly straight-forward with a multi-field formula - less so with a select tool which requires editing the raw xml.multi-field with action.png
