Double Trouble: Processor Parameter of Type Double Failing When Not An Int

[Lydia]

I have a processor parameter named "Numeric Not Set Value". This parameter is of the type double, so I should be able to use numbers such as -1, 1000, 0.5, 1.6667, etc. 

If I set the default value in the code of my processor to a decimal number, like 1.5, the processor works as intended. If I change the default value in the Details tab of the Processor Configuration page to any decimal number other than the default value I chose in the processor code, I receive an error which states "{Name of variable} is required."

Is this intentional, or is this a bug?

Hi @Lydia ,

I believe you have found a bug, I tested it locally, and it seems it actually works as long as it is an integer value, but as soon as you give it a decimal point, it shows this error.

My guess is that this is a Portal bug only, so if you need to test it in the meantime, in theory you could change this value to anything you want directly in the database (in the Parameters table).

I will look into a fix for this, and will include it with the next Smart Connector release.
