DateTime Parse tool should have an option to replace the field you are parsing

[Matteop9]

Currently I find myself always wanting to replace the DateTime field with a string or visa verse.

It would be nice to have a radio button to pick whether to append the parsed field to replace the current field with the parsed field.

I understand that all you need is a select tool after, this would be a nice QoL change especially where the field may be dynamically updated.

hi @Matteop9, thanks for your feedback; it makes sense to include an option that reduces the need for a follow-up tool!

Yes, please! I very rarely use DateTime Parse for this reason (I use the Multi-Field tool, because I can convert and replace in one tool).

Agreed. I like the UI of the tool and I often present it when doing training, but it's annoying to have to remove old fields with Select tools.
