Error saying a prediction label column is string type when it is a decimal(10,2)

[gpintoextra]

System Information (please complete the following information):

• Model Builder Version: 16.1.02027
• Visual Studio Version 16.9.4

Describe the bug

• On which step of the process did you run into an issue: Train
• Clear description of the problem:
• I am creating a new model
• I connect to my database
• I select a table
• I select a column prediction label which is of type decimal(10,2) and its name is CalidadPonderada
• The data shows ok on the screen
• When I train the model I get this error saying that the column is of type string but it is not, it is a decimal number.

**Provided label column 'CalidadPonderada' was of type String, but only type Single is allowed.**

Additional context Hint: My windows os is in Spanish whichs considers decimal numbers like for example 3,14 with a coma not a dot like in english 3.14 but I changed the OS setting for decimal numbers separated by dot and the problem is the same.
