Description:
the default setting of an INT column with no flags set is annoying.

i usually need int unsigned, with auto_increment.

please expand the model type options to enable setting custom default type/flags.

How to repeat:
want default 'unsigned', 'auto_increment'
no default option

Suggested fix:
add default 'types' options in model type options dialog: unsigned, auto_increment, etc.

You can create a user defined type (such as UINT) which is defined as INT with UNSIGNED any and other flags you want. Then just use UINT in your PKs.
