Dear All,


I created a new custom float field in timesheet app with a simple calculation. 

It works fine except the rounding, that is set on 2 decimal by default.

So I wanted to increase to 3 the decimal accuracy by "Settings -> Technical -> Decimal Accuracy" but I have no idea how to identify my custom field. I tried in different ways:


- by Technical Name -> "x_studio_my field"

- just by name -> "my field"

- by field label


Nothing works. 

Can you please suggest how to achieve this simple goal?


thanks

Igor

UPDATE: Based on Tim's additional question, you can also do:


digits="Stock Weight"


You can use any of the Decimal Accuracy records:


.. or can create your own and use that.

Have you tried the digits tag in the XML declaring where your field is shown?

We use this to display the float field for currency exchange rates:

 <field name="rate" digits="[12,12]"/>

Thank you for this Ray, works great in V14 for me. I'm curious if there is a way to reference a record in the model decimal.precision ? I needed a float field for recording dimensions and I can see that being needed again.

Outstanding, thank you!

What if the decimal accuracy is different in a multi-company environment for the same currency? Any way to setup by company?

This would require customization - we don't support multiple decimal accuracy values - just one per database. You could create as many as you wanted but you would need to redefine the fields (in Python) that reference them.
