Generated portlet won't display values because of wrong data type in configuration

[IstvanD]

Replace the configuration file contents features/configuration.json with the following:

​{
 "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/liferay/liferay-js-toolkit/master/resources/schemas/configuration.schema.json",

 "portletInstance": {
  "fields": {
      "drink": {
        "type": "float",
        "name": "drink",
        "description": "drink-help",
        "default": "10.5"
      }
  }
 }
}

Deploy the portlet. Open it's configuration. It won't show any input fields for "drink"

The reason is that in the generated .jar, in features/portlet_preferences.json, this part of the code

    {
      "name": "drink",
      "label": {},
      "dataType": "double",
      "type": "ddm-decimal",
      "tip": {
        "": "Choose the drink you like the most"
      },
      "predefinedValue": {
        "": "10.5"
      }
    }

has "ddm-decimal" set as "type".
Liferay uses soy to render the field. The rendering template in modules/apps/dynamic-data-mapping/dynamic-data-mapping-form-field-type/src/main/resources/META-INF/resources/Numeric/NumericRegister.soy

{namespace NumericRegister}

{deltemplate PageRenderer.RegisterFieldType variant="'numeric'"}
	{call Numeric.render data="all" /}
{/deltemplate}

will only take "numeric" fields as it's params.
The "type" in features/portlet_preferences.json has to be generated as "numeric" instead of "ddm-decimal".

"Numeric" doesn't work either.

[izaera]

It does, but I also need to change it in integer fields.

Hi @izaera

Maybe it is case sensitive? Have you tried "numeric" (not with capital N)?

@IstvanD we posted at the same time 😅. See #545 (comment)
