AdaptiveCards Input.Number is recognized as String, not as Number/Int.

Posted on by Lucas_Eduardo 62

I'm building a flow based on Microsoft-Teams and Adaptive Cards.

One of the cards that I post haves a Input.Number, as the image:

But, when I trigger the flow, insert the data in and Submit the answers, the flow returns me this error:

I don't know why it's returning a Str if the input is "Input.Number" (lol). Am I missing steps, is there something more that I should do?

 

Thx in advance.

    Hi @bnburton ,

     

    I have designed a sample flow to test number field in adaptive card and found that the values returned by adaptive card are string although we have chosen it as an integer type. Below is the JSON I have used for sample flow:

    {
    "type": "AdaptiveCard",
    "body": [
    {
    "type": "Input.Number",
    "placeholder": "Placeholder text",
    "id":"inputnumber"
    }
    ],
    "actions": [
    {
    "type": "Action.Submit",
    "title": "OK",
    }
    ],
    "$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",
    "version": "1.4"
    }

     The workaround is to convert the number returned as a string from adaptive card to integer using int() formula. The formulas are written as expression in the expression box, here I have type cast string to integer in "Compose" action:

    You can get the converted integer value from output of compose action. 

     

    If this helps & solves your problem, please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.

     

    Thanks
