How to change default currency format to 2 decimals?

This is for PBI Desktop vMay 2022. In the report view, I can format a column as currency by clicking the "$" sign. But by default the number of decimal places is "Auto". The way our systems store currency is with up to 10 decimal places. I don't want to show 10 decimal places, I always want to show 2.

How do I change the default currency decimal places to be 2 for all new and existing PBIX files from now on? 

The image shows the format for a field which is not yet currency. 

Thank you!
