Default date CSV output format

Feature requests

Would be helpful to include a “Default CSV Date Output Format” in the "Application Settings (beneath the “default decimal separator”).

A challenge I keep running into to when writing to CSV format is the dates are encoded as numbers. It would help if the default was the ISO 8601 format (e.g. yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss), but would be fine with having this as an option.

For now the workaround is to set the Date format and then explicitly convert to Text. But that takes multiple steps, and it’s easy to forget to do this.
So a default would be helpful.

Found a better solution I was previously not aware of:
Set the "Preserve formatting" option under the "Advanced options..." of the "Export into delimited file" Action.
