  GUI operations in Workbench are recorded in a journal file .wbjn.
  It should be possible to perform the operations for the first entry, then examine / edit / replay the journal to have the script edit the data types for you.

  Expand the 'Data Source' window (upper left) so that you can see the rest of the columns. D can be used to set one of the files to be the controlling file. Set that files colmns/data types and when imported all the other files should follow the same mapping of the columns.
