Indicator-based explorers should accept column specifying the number of decimal places

[pabloarosado]

Core problem

Indicator-based explorers don't accept a column specifying the number of decimal places.

Proposed solution

We can currently specify this from ETL, by defining display: numDecimalPlaces, but it would be convenient to be able to define this parameter directly from the explorer, as a new column.

Context

This feature could be used, for example, in some of the indicators of the animal welfare explorer.

@pabloarosado are you aware if we have any other display fields which we can overwrite in this way?

Just trying to get a sense if there's any existing code we can append to or if this would be a new flow. 🙂

Hi @ikesau, there are a few fields that may come from display and seem to be accepted by indicator-based explorers, namely:

• tolerance, color (likely to come from display),
• name, description, unit, short_unit (these may come from some other of the indicator's metadata fields).

I hope that helps.
