Decimal precision seems limited

Wow... I am able to replicate this behavior in the Expression rule editor. I also tested it by setting a rule input to decimal type, showing it in a text field, and experimenting with how many sig figs I could put before it started rounding the value. It is very surprising.

It seems as if the Decimal data type can only contain a maximum of 7 decimal digits. This is usually the precision of a single precision floating point. Most implementations of a double precision floating point have 16 decimal digits.

I will ask around and put in a question to support. If I find any additional information I'll post it here.
