Change default Cube Data type to "Double"

Samir Jones

A couple of years ago, we were suggested by Board to always use Data type Double, instead of Single.

However, the default data Type when creating a new Cube is Single.

I would also assume Double is the most common Data Type used in Cubes. That makes it more relevant to show Double by default.

Suggestion: Change the default to Double.

This is not a big issue, but might be a quick fix. It contributes to better developer experience and also developers avoid using Single (if Board still suggests to use Double).

Based on recent posts, this idea should be scrapped.

Board, please close this voting, as I no longer stand behind this idea. :-)
