Unpivot: Add option or default to String Type for Column Values

Feedback & Ideas
1

Hi,

when unpivoting multiple columns, which are most of the time of different types, the resulting column ColumnValues is Non-Native [interface org.knime.core.data.DataValue]

Trying to convert that to a string using the Table Manipulator does not work:

Certainly there are other fallback options but my point is, why not add an option to default to String Type instead of non-native?
