Prompt `Replace Data Type...` action

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Replace Data Type... is fairly vague and will be problematic to know if this is the source or dest datatype. Previously the drag-n-drop would then prompt along the lines "Do you want to replace X with Y?" This seems like a minor regression; though this UX is an improvement I think, it will be harder for new users the first time around.

Describe the solution you'd like Add the yes/no prompt window back once the two data types have been determined stating what will replace what. This could also be achieved with an update to the prompt/text on the current pop-up window (or do both). Maybe event the right click context text could be changed to something along the lines of Replace this with... (w/ trying to not go overkill on text length).

Describe alternatives you've considered Its obvious once the transaction is completed what is replaced and what is gone, but new users (or if this feature is not used often), it will require them to do it and undo if they did it wrong to understand how the feature works.
