Create the fields on your View form as the correct type of field. i.e. Create a Date field on the view form. In the Database tab put the correct database field name in the View Information Name field
For Selection fields do the same thing... Create a selection field with the correct choices and just fill out the Database tab with the correct database field information.

I was able to create a view form to do this, but none of my field definitions are as they were in the past. Everything is an integer (like Priority, Case Type, and most importantly the date fields). Is there a way to build a form with the correct (or should I say translated) field types? Date fields will be date fields instead of integers...
