Typecast not working

I am using text() or any  function in type!{urn:com:appian:types}Test'().

What exactly do you mean with this?

- What do you want to achieve?

- What did you do to achieve this?

- What do you observe?

- What is the deviation?

 fn!text(
              fixed(
                abs(
                  sum(
                    index(
                      local!data,"amount",{}
                    )
                  )
                ),
                2
              ),
              "00.00"
            )

The above code I am using for calculate amount. Basically I want values after decimal or format that I mentioned in the code. But when I use above code in type! function it round up the amount.

. 

'type!{urn:com:appian:types:KIO}KIO_DSE_CASE'(
quantity:if(
            rule!GLB_isBlank(
              index(local!data, "bciCalcSplitAmount_dec", {})
            ),
            {},
            fn!text(
              fixed(
                abs(
                  sum(
                    index(
                      local!data,"amount",{}
                    )
                  )
                ),
                2
              ),
              "00.00"
            )
          ),
)

Note: This fixed and fn!text function works properly outside type! function. Please see the below screenshot. But when I used this code in type! it won't work.

May i know the type of "quantity" field?

Number

Number

I mean number(integer) or number(decimal)?

I think that the issue here is that fixed() and text() return a string, but not a number. If you want to DISPLAY the final sum to the user in a specific format, do that at the place where you display it, but not when calculating it.
