What is the type of variable by which we can input numerical value with float(33.67)

[Chandra18]

Hi expert, 

I have created a "single line text" variable and under "type specification" tab, I have select validation regex as "number". But problem is it is not taking any flot value like 33.45, 6789.877 etc. and It is showing field error message " Not a number".

I have attached both screenshot, What is the type of variable by which we can input numerical value with float(33.67)?

Thanks

The number validation is just checking if you have a number 0-9, not for decimals.  You can create your own regex's to do things like this by navigating to;

1. Service Catalog
   1. Catalog Variables
      1. Variable Validation Regex

Once there you can create one, I called mine "Floating point" with this regex; 

[+-]?([0-9]*[.])?[0-9]+

 This will let you have things like;

.123

4.56

5

Then once you've made that, you can pick on your variable.

Hi @Jace Benson 
also, catalog client script not adding(sum) floating values.
Code is:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
return;
}

var value1 = g_form.getValue("p_amount");
var value2 = g_form.getValue("l_amount");
alert("value1: " + value1);
alert("value2: " + value2);

var sum = parseInt(value1) + parseInt(value2);
alert("sum: " + sum);
g_form.setValue('total_amount', sum);

}

The summary will not work because you have used parseInt() which returns an integer not a floating value.

You should switch to parseFloat() if you need to include decimal values.

Example below:

var a = '1.5';
var b = '2.3';
var sumInt = parseInt(a) + parseInt(b);
var sumFloat = parseFloat(a) + parseFloat(b);

gs.info('sumint: ' + sumInt);
gs.info('sumfloat: ' + sumFloat);

// output: -->>  sumint: 3
// output: -->>  sumfloat: 3.8

Hi,

The OOB number validation is just that, it validates that you only have entered numerical values. Only [0-9] are allowed.

You can easily create your own custom validation by navigating to:
Service catalog > Catalog variables > Variable Validation regex

A regex that allows for both digits and a dot in between can look something like this:

[\d]+([.][\d]+)?
