We are facing issue like the value is Number(Decimal) when user enters - 1595739.56 it gets round of to – 1595740. Which is a concern here. Also any number which is of 7 or more than 7 digit are getting round of.
We understand appian recommends the uses of ‘text field’ instead of floating point field, but this will lead to the column type changes in Database because those decimal columns can either be calculated in appian or in database stored procedures, hence as converting the column from decimal to varchar will required us to type cast them from varcharToDecimal before doing any calculation s and those are many fields which are used in calculations. Any urgent help/suggestion is really great help to me to progress.

Hello Stefan,
Even I am facing similar issue here, I need a sum of list of decimal field values(more than 7 digit value), and required output to be in decimal field with 2 number of digits after decimal point.
sum({7654321.50 , 75973.20})
