OBIEE 11g: Setting default data format subject area wise

I am using OBIEE 11.1.1.7.0

We have 2 Subject Areas and I am trying to set default formatting for all the text fields from only one subject area - Plain Text (Don't break spaces).

If I chose this data format to be system-wide default, it will impact both the subject areas, which we don't want.

I tried editing /system/metadata/Subject_Area1 file to directly add XML tags for formatting 'text' datatype. However OBIEE throws an error stating that 'sawsavedformat:datatypeformat' is not a defined attribute.

Looks like I could not define default formatting at subject area level.

Is there any work-around for this problem?
