Summarize...Average of... randomly changes to date format

Metabase Version. 0.43.1
Database: MySQL

Issue
Numeric column type become a data column type.

Description
When using the QB, working with a transaction records dataset, I create a Distinct(id) column, SUM(amount) column, SUM(quantity) column, AVERAGE(amount) column, and AVERAGE(quantity) column. I adjust the column name and format the numbers (such as amount of decimal places) as expected. Then, when I add an additional summarization, a custom expression equal to SUM(amount) / SUM(quantity) which I call Average Value, the AVERAGE(amount) column becomes a date type. This behavior only occurs when I add the custom expression and goes away (the AVERAGE(amount) column returns to being a numeric type) when I remove the custom expression.

Hi @mere_data_analyst
Post "Diagnostic Info" from Admin > Troubleshooting. Latest release is 0.43.4
Try looking in Admin > Data Model to see which Field Type you're using for Amount or Quantity.
Otherwise post the field metadata by going to the URL /api/field/123, where 123 is the field ID, which you can see in your browser URL, when going to the to the field :gear: (.../123/general)

Without seeing the field metadata, then it's not possible to understand what is going on.
