GUI does something wierd with float item value

[siegersallee]

I have a FloatItem that supports 15 digits

I enter 222222222222222 into the floatItem.
When I getValuesAsRecord from the form the value for this floatItem is: 2147483647.00

Please advise on how to fix this so that the value retrived from the floatItem is 222222222222222 or 222222222222222 .00

This is most likely the max value for the datatype (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2147483647_(number)). Perhaps there is an (implicit?) conversion done?
See also stringInBrowser, which is definitely related.

Yeah. I think we determined that the value is getting screwed up in the DB. The GUI requirement was to support more digits than the column in the DB. Damn BAs.
