@ivan2kh It will be good if you can write any cases why you can't use it right now. For example - lua script that creates a space, defines format, insert your data and then you see some issues. Maybe it is not displaying or you can't edit a row, or add new one. What happens? I don't have any issues with decimal because don't use it at all.

Here is short example of how decimals are shown.

box.cfg{listen=3302}

decimal = require('decimal')
ffi = require('ffi')

_ = box.schema.space.create('test')
_ = box.space.test:create_index('pk')
box.space.test:insert{1, decimal.new(1.1)}

box.schema.user.grant('guest','read,write,execute,create,drop,alter','universe', nil, {if_not_exists=true})

Right now, 2.3 is still not released and there is no docker container for master branch. So, it's hard to reproduce it right now, let's postpone this task till 2.3 release.

yeaa decimal would be great

0.3.32 (latest docker image tag) release correctly render decimals. be careful, when you will update it using web interface it will overwrite tuple field with float value.

if you need some logic for decimal updates - please, reopen the ticket and we will investigate it. right now format is not supported with decimal type.

hope decimal rendering is that you need
