Bug Report | can't set value to number in server action

[jellederijke]

OS info

• Operating System : Windows 10.0.19043 (happens on Mac version, as well.)
• Wappler Version : 4.4.5

Problem description

I thought I was getting pretty crazy after Christmas because I couldn’t figure out how to do a simple count in a repeat… until I found out that the data type of my value kept resetting itself to text. Which doesn’t work well for a count

So in essence: I cannot set a value with data type number. It always reverts to text.

Steps to reproduce

1. add set value and change data type to number
2. save server action
3. open other step in server action
4. go back to set value and see data type is reverted to text.

Issue looks similar to this issue:

Server action Set Value "boolean" always reverts to "text"

Wappler Version : 4.4.3 Operating System : MacOS Big Sur Server Model: NodeJS 16 Database Type: MariaDB 10.5 Hosting Type: Docker Expected behavior [Screenshot1] Data Type is “Boolean” Actual behavior Data Type reverts to “Text” once you select another server action [Screenshot2] I’m trying to diagnose issues with conditions and came across that. I need to be able to set a boolean to test further

Bump for this issue. I did notice that you guys fixed a loooot of issues and even introduced awesome new mobile app functionality.

However, in my experience this simple setting a value to number doesn’t work

Bump for this issue. Would be great to have this thing fixed in the next update. This bug prevents summing up values in a server action to create sync logs. Because text values will not do sum.

Indeed, it would be nice to see this one fixed.

This has been fixed in Wappler 4.6
