Hi Merlijn: Sorry for the hassle. We found this issue, and it is fixed, but it didn't make the beta release. I'll check with @Kovner and see if there is going to be an update to beta.
In the next beta and/or 2020.2 release, the values will be their native type again. Also, we are adding an additional field: nativeValue. This will be in the extension library 1.4. The benefits of nativeValue is that Date and Date-Time fields are exported as Date objects rather than strings. In addition, if you have to worry about special values, nativeValue makes this much easier, because rather than being a string "%null%", it will be null.

Hi John,
Thank you, that sounds perfect! We are starting with the 1.4 beta next week. We will keep you and the team posted on bugs and feature requests and positive feedback.
Merlijn: Just to clarify the nativeValue update in 1.4. I should have mentioned this above. Because of string result defect in the beta 2020.2, all the nativeValues will be null. :-( Both of these issues will be fixed in the updated 2020.2 beta, or final. John
Hello John,
As Tableau 2020.2 is released on Tableau Online and I can't find a 2020.2 beta 2. Can you please verify that this is fixed when 2020.2 releases?
Merlijn
Will Do. Meanhile @Kovner - can you get Merlijn connected with beta 2?
We only release beta per release now. I will reach out to Merlijn offline though.
Closing as fixed.
Hi,
Some of our extensions are crashing with Tableau 2020.2. I opened the same extension in 2020.1 and 2020.2 beta and I found a difference in the summary data:
2020.1
2020.2
It looks like measures in 2020.2 are being exported as strings. The result is that our calculations in extensions are not working anymore because measures look like this now: '2000+2000+2000' instead of 6000
Thanks Merlijn
