I am working on a long overdue update from MGOS 2.1 to MGOS 2.4. I am finding some strange formatting display of values in 2.4 that I did not see in 2.1. Particularly, the display of numbers include 6 values beyond the decimal point in the properties oane of the AJAX viewer (some would this has a fixed "scale" setting of 6). All of the values displayed this way are numbers stored as "double" data types. Most of them are actually integers. Previously, MGOS 2.1 would only display values beyond the decimal point if necessary (i.e. those values that represented integers were displayed as integers).
I found some tips on the forum that you could cheat the system by using (0+FieldName) in a tooltip, but I have found that this doesn't work for the display of properties in the Properties Pane. Is there a way to control the formatting display so not to display a scale of 6 (i.e. 6 decimal places)? I know another option would be to update the data type for those values that are actually integers, but that is not an option for my data right now. I have also found the following inconsistencies between different displays all using MGOS2.4 (I used the Sheboygan dataset, Parcels - */LAST_SALE/* attribute, which is stored as a "double" data type). 1.
