Formatting of Decimal Fields as Integer in Change Log Table

[rahul03kumar]

Hello Team,

We have noticed an issue in the Change log: sometimes, an edm:decimal attribute is rendered as an integer. Kindly check if we can have a feature if rendering happens considering decimal precision.

Thanks & Regards,
Rahul

Hello @rahul03kumar
this is an issue we've also encountered ourselves. This is due to the new DB drivers used in CDS 8.
We are looking into this,

Hello @nkaputnik,

thanks for update.

Hello @rahul03kumar
javascript has no native support for Decimal, it rather operates on Numbers, so it seems that the formatting of the numbers to the target format happens at a different point in time with the new DB driver (in the DB itself, rather than upfront in the DB driver), so the req.diff function we use now doesn't know anything about it anymore.
Changing this in our plugin will be quite complex to solve, but we have an idea that maybe we could use calculated expressions for Fiori Elements annotations. We need to check this with the experts, and it also only has a low probability to work, but it would be a straigthforward solution, if it works.

Best,
Nick
