Yes, this is precisely what I would expect. No feedback, but a very
conservative one to one conversion. I also agree with changing to "Convert data
to specified format". I agree that validation sounds

What does that mean? I fail to follow what confused you.
Did you get confused how that data could be inserted with the "unexpected"
types?
It may come

I'm having a hard time to imagine the actual conversion. For example 04/07/2022
could be MM/DD/ or DD/MM/, 4/7 a date or a fraction, 4.7 a number or a
date with missing dot etc. And having

Exactly this ^
Though functionally, it's to prevent the user having to manually remove the '
from every cell in order to convert the cell contents to the cell data type
when there is already a 1 to 1

The UX problem is that people tend to confuse (mix) formatting to cell data
type.
In Calc, a cell can contain a text, a number, or a formula. The actual type of
data in the cell is defined at entry

Still don't understand what functionality the checkbox adds. Maybe someone
smarter than me

It's functionally equivalent to what Calc does when importing a CSV and the

I believe that strings appear on the left of the cell, and numbers of the
correct format on the right. This is plenty of feed back that the string is
unchanged to the number format. Also, the string
