Converting constants to a char sequence in assembly view does not reflect in the decompile view

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Convert a constant in assembly view to a char sequence, using the "Convert" menu on right click.
2. Refresh decompile view

changing the type to char[3] in the decompiler for a global in a call to printf worked for me.. maybe only related to non globals/immediate values.

Seems this is still an issue in 2022. Trying to parse a lot of chunk header IDs in a binary file reader and it's a lot of work to figure out what I'm looking at without seeing them as strings when I select convert.

Can we do a bit better than this?
