Both variables are number inputs that get populated from a button trigger. Whenever the trigger is executed, the number value spits out more significant figures than it has been set to.

Hey @gentleboyjones - The widget property for precision just adjusts how values are presented within the app editor, but doesn’t actually impact how that data is stored in the table itself.

Hi @landers - Welcome to Tulip Community! :tada: I am checking in on this with the Tulip Product team, and will follow up next week. Have a good weekend :slight_smile:
