Hi Ridley, As explained in the code review section <https://cloud.google.com/python/getting-started/using-cloud-datastore#handling_form_submissions>, the data submitted via the HTML form is passed to the "add" handler in the crud.py to create the entity. Apparently the data coming from the HTML isn't passes in JSON <https://cloud.google.com/datastore/docs/concepts/entities#integer> and all are passed as string. That is why you see Type String for all properties.
Both your questions are technical ones and you may post your questions separately in Stack Overflow. <https://cloud.google.com/support/docs/stackexchange> Note that Google Groups are reserved for general discussions on Google Cloud platform-end products and not for technical questions. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
