Decimal values in Numberfield?

I'm trying to use a Coral Numberfield, but it marks a decimal value as invalid and there doesn't seem to be any option to allow it. Is there something I'm missing?

Hi 

You can use TypeHints for the same. Add a hidden field (xtype:hidden) with name = <numberField'sName>@TypeHint and value= Long (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28467498/save-cq-component-field-value-as-long-instead-of-string).

Also please have at article mentioned by "Leeasling" :- http://blogs.adobe.com/livecycle/2011/12/beyond-string-typehint-to-rescue.html

I hope this would act as some help to you.

Thanks and Regards

This data type looks like the only number field:

this is the one you are using - correct?

Yup, that's it. The old numberfield has a bunch of options but they don't seem to carry over to the new one.

Have you tried to write a custom type that let's you use decimal values. I am thinking there may be a way to write custom script to solve this.
