&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks for the answer and for attaching the document.&lt;br /&gt;It looks like this can be overcome by using the workaround described in the documentation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Regarding text()</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/145848?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sun, 02 Mar 2025 23:43:16 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:8090380f-0347-448d-af86-fdb76c5b7d73</guid><dc:creator>shuheit4632</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi, konduru&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;BTW, are you aware that you pass that decimal number as a string? This could already result in mathematical rounding.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
