Glide is making random changes to my App.  
Date fields are changed to date and time.  
that is one example.  
These apps are published and I am paying Glide good money.  
Sure I cannot be expected to watch every element of my app 24/7?

Interesting. The only times I’ve seen columns change types are

1. if they were first created using AI and then later the user attempts to edit the column (even if no changes were made).
2. The app was created off of a Google sheet and then the data/formatted synced from the spreadsheet changes.

Did either of these occur?

Hi Robert

No, neither of these conditions apply.  
At least 3 times a week, I have to change a date and time element back to a date only element.  
A 123 number element may change to a a user email element.

Are you seeing these changes in the Data Editor, the Layout, or both?  
Can you send some screenshots of the affected columns/components?  
Just fyi, there is actually no such thing as a Date only column type. There is only Date/Time. Yes, you have options to display the value as date/time, date only or time only. But none of these affect the stored value, which always remains as a full date/time.
