Api returns int for text value?

[raffaelj]

And I have to correct myself:

@raffaelj

There is no number field/component to check against, […]

@artur

use the text type and add this to the field options

{
  "type": "number"
}

See: Number field type

Using this variant and adding “42e3” as an entry leads to “42e3” in the database and the input field in the backend converts its appearance to “42000”.
