We need a decimal type ... but with defined trailing zeros. It can be a different number (4,6,10) of decimal spaces.

Hi dariab0002
Please try to use the fixed function provided by appian.
https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/19.1/fnc_text_fixed.html

eg. fixed(1.0000,4)

Only problem that you can face is that after using this function it converts the decimal to text.

So: the api that you need to pass the value to - what type is the value expected to be passed as? If it's a decimal then passing 1 to it will be fine. If the type is text but it is only ever expecting a string that conforms to a decimal format then you can use the fixed() function to force 4 decimal places if needed.
