"Set Value" as Text changes value to number

Wappler General How To
#1

Hello, I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong. On Server actions, when using “Set Value”, saving a string of numbers and selecting Data Type as text ignores the setting and saves it as Number.

I did a workaround using an Object, but I think it needs some revision.

Thanks.

Data Type option does not change the type of the added value. The type is automatically determined.
The Data Type menu is used to tell the data pickers what data are you working on, so that they show the suitable options/formatters.

Ok. I see.

I understand that saving: 0123 gets determined and saved as a Number.
It would be great if saving: ‘0123’ could be determined and saved as a string.
