Hello Everyone,

I'm seeing some inconsistent behavior when trying to round number. In 7.9 I get the following results:

round(3.6666, 2): 3.67
round(3.6666, 3): 3.6670000000000003
round(3.6666, 4): 3.6666000000000003
round(3.6666, 5): 3.6666000000000003
round(3.6666, 6): 3.6666
round(3.6666, 7): 3.6666
etc.

Can anyone shed some light on what may be going on here?

Note that this behavior only manifests when used as the value in a floatingPointField. When displaying the results in a textField() the round function works as expected.

I've seen this issue before and had to work around it; I suggest you raise a ticket with support.

@jpheh Use fixed(number, decimals, no_commas) instead of round.
