Decimals do not get saved

[juhalassila]

Hi! Looks like I have an issue with decimals. I have a number (12,4) field that I can inline edit in datatableV2.

• Numbers without decimals get saved OK
• Numbers with decimals do not get saved

Pls see attached PPTX for screenshots of

• values in the datatable
• properties of the component.

I think I was able to narrow down this issue to locale settings.

Looks like this component doesn't handle decimals correctly when numbers are presented with a decimal comma (instead of decimal point).

1. Initially observed this issue with Finnish locale setting

   • User Profile pic > Settings > My Personal Settings > Language & Time Settings > Locale Finnish (Finland, Euro)

2. Switched to English (United States): desimals got saved OK

3. Switched back to Finnish: observed the issue again.

Just to be clear

• I also created a new custom field on Account (type (number(12,4) and planted that on the same screen using the standard Screen Component (Number). That works OK with the Finnish locale setting.

Aaa... maybe this issue is related to this "feature":

Restrictions

• NOTE: When editing percent fields you are restricted to whole numbers.

I'm assuming that the ability to handle non-integer numbers (and percentages) is on the roadmap. Or is it?

Of course, I desperately need this feature right now.

Unfortunately, I'm not a developer. Therefore, I'm not in a position to contribute in fixing of this issue.

But let me put it this way

• what is the dollar amount that would motivate someone to fix this asap?

I'm looking into this now to see if I can find out why this is happening.

Just want to let everyone know that I handled our mobile data collection requirement using FormTitan. Therefore, the money is not on the table anymore.

I'm glad you found a solution.
