&lt;p&gt;For your reference, the rounding is only happening when Appian displays the value to you - the decimal value itself is stored in tact in the system.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One method I&amp;#39;ve found, as mentioned in the linked thread also, is the &amp;quot;text()&amp;quot; function.&amp;nbsp; This allows you to force a specific number format, including number of digits of precision.&lt;/p&gt;
