Good day All,
I am adding a field into my entity that requires large numbers.
Is there any way to input a larger number in the "whole number" data type.
For example a number that has 15 digits.
Thanks in advance.
If it not allowing why not try a Text Column. That should take the numbers.

Hi @BruceD
Unfortunately, there is no way to store a large number, other than to use the text data type.
A whole number field stores an integer, so the acceptable values would be -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647.
You can store slightly more with the decimal and currency data types, but not 15 digits.
I would suggest that you vote for this post in the ideas forum to add support for the "big int" data type.
