I decided to move this question into its own email thread:
How does the Data Type chosen for an attribute in entity modeler
affect me?
For example, I see different options related to dates / times: i.e.
Date, Date (MSSQL), Time, Timestamp.
For new attributes I just leave that with the default once I pick
the prototype. But for existing attributes where I have the Data
Type already selected and no prototype chosen, and then choose a
prototype I'm not sure how changing Data Type would affect me.
For example, if my existing attribute named "creationDateTime" had a
Data Type of Timestamp selected and no prototype. And then I set the
prototype to dateTime and change the Data Type to Date. Will that
affect me somehow? :-)
Short answer: yes.

That is what this is selecting.
