Hey,
so float columns in tables are actually strings. That is leading to some unintended behavior. For example an empty column gets turned into “” which my API doesn’t accept as a valid number. So I have to check it in the frontend. Also, some other issues.
- If you type some random text in the float column it gets shown as NaN but in the record update it is whatever string you put in
- if you but in a badly formated number like 0.1.0 in the table for some reason it gets shown as 0.1 while in the record update its a “0.1.0” string. it can happen that my user puts in a number and accidentally formats it incorrectly. Then she saves the change and as a result she gets an empty field.
Overall these things could be fixed if the FLoat column would be a Number type instead of a String type in the record update.
Thanks!
