Hi,
I have a decimal type field on my form and I want to set a default value: 1.00, but when I open a new record on my table, that field will have just a single "1" as a value. I set the scale to 2 and the max length to 20 and I also put 1.00 to the default value field.
I tried this method: https://community.servicenow.com/community?id=community_article&sys_id=4ab304e51b0e48d0ada243f6fe4bcb12
But it didn't work for me.
Thank you,
Csaba

Hello
If the number has .00 after, it's considered a whole number and will not show the .00 in the decimal field, regardless for the scale value set.
If you tried .01, for example, you'll see it.
There is no official workaround for that.

Hi, I've had the same issue but no workaround yet, have you maybe found something in the meanwhile?
