Question

Integer Limit

Hello, I am trying to display integer in Appian. However, I encounted a problem as there is a limit for Appian of 7 digits for integer.

How can we work around with it?

    Use a text field :)

    Integer is naturally limited to 7 digits because the maximum displayable value is

     for the logical/technical reason you have to dig in computer science basics. :)

    I know it is a basic question. I guess I should ask it differently, if there is anyway you can  get the value of a number greater than 7 digits.

    Thanks.

    As Richard Mentioned, you can save the value in Text format is the only best option. You try with big int data type that may work.

    We had a similar use case where we needed to store the values till 13 digits. Appian Engineering suggested that storing in text format is the only option.
