What happened?

I have two columns, labeled 'weight' and 'quantity' that both have the Property Type "number".

The formula column is labeled 'totalweight' I am using the following column formula: ${(row.weight*row.quantity).toFixed(1)}

I have Persist Formula Output set to ON

In the YAML of the files, it adds quotations to the number... It seems like a bug to me since if you're multiplying two numbers, it should output a number.

Here is an example of how things look in the YAML:

---

Tags: Gear, Equipment Type: 1. Lights Alias: null Order: 13 Quantity: 3 Cost: 580 TotalCost: 1740 Weight: 9.8 TotalWeight: 29.3 totalcost: "1740.00" totalweight: "29.4"

Working on this issue. It will be a new feature instead of a bug. The formulas are persisted as string always, so we can add a new dropdown column option to choose how you want to persist your formula

• string (default)
• number
• boolean
