I want to extend the code so each field keeps a Custom Attribute FmtProp(TFormatType) text formatting option.
The class TQryRecInfo need to have a function so, when the Custom Attribute FmtProp is defined, it forces the use of the specified formatting. If FmtProp is not defined, then it is assumed the default formatting for that property DataType.
In the TEmployeeProject, for example:

EmployeeProject.ProjectDate:= EncodeDateTime(2024,02,01,01,02,03,0);
WriteLn(EmployeeProject.GetFormattedText('ProjectDate')) should show "01/02/2024"

and

EmployeeProject.ProjectStartMoment:= EncodeDateTime(2023,12,25,10,15,50,0);
WriteLn(EmployeeProject.GetFormattedText('ProjectStartMoment')) should show "25/12/2023 10:15:50"

and

EmployeeProject.DepartmentID:= 27;
WriteLn(EmployeeProject.GetFormattedText('DepartmentID'))  should show "27" // No FmtProp, uses default

When you show the modified units, don't leave code gaps.
