Why can't I set decimals in a decimal field?

[e_wilber]

I have a custom decimal field that I'm trying to update via a business rule:

        met.u_total_value = 4.25;

        met.update();

It's updating the field to 4 instead of keeping the decimals. Why is my decimal disappearing and how do I keep it?

Hello @e_wilber 

Screenshot of u_total_value dictionary:

Before:

After your code executed in Scripts - Background:

var grInc = new GlideRecord('incident');
grInc.get('ed92e8d173d023002728660c4cf6a7bc');
var tst = 4.25;
grInc.u_total_value = parseFloat(tst.toFixed(2));
grInc.update();

I do this in Catalog requests  & platform forms.

1. Platform UI

    Type = Price

2. Attributes

    edge_encryption_enabled=true,omit_sys_original=true,serializer=com.glide.script.PriceXMLSerializer

3. After update : 

Estimated Total Project Amount   $

In Catalog

1. Type = Single Line Text

2. Check the values are getting set    

var cs = g_form.getValue('cost');

var letter = /^[0-9.]+$/;

if ((cs.match(letter))) {

var value = Math.round(cs*1000)/1000; // 10 defines 1 decimals, 100 for 2, 1000 for 3

}

else {

return false;

}

3; in the workflow

    var cost_if_known =     parseFloat(current.variables.cost.toString());

Both works for me!!
