Strings imported as integers #258

Closed mavasher closed 3 years ago

mavasher commented 3 years ago

Hello,

In our process, we need to pull phone numbers from web elements. Often these come in the form XXX-XXX-XXXX. When I pull the data with an Element Action it performs a mathematical operation treating the hyphens as aminus sign. So, 212-555-5555 becomes "-5898". This is strange and unexpected behavior. Is there a way around this? Is there any way to type the data as a string instead of an integer?
