Matching data types in a flow ignores number data type.

Posted on by 84

We have created a successful flow which matches the data that is entered from a jotform UI/UX.  Then the flow enters the information successfully into a Microsoft List row.  Everything is fine and we tested it with a small amount of the data.  Afterwards, I went ahead and started adding files and matching them with the incoming data.

 

The problem is noticed when I started to enter number fields instead of short strings.  Look at the screen shot I am including.  The values for Total TIme and "Flight time last 12 months" had no corresponding data type and the ony difference between these and the other fields is the fact that these two fields are numbers and the others are short strings.data-table.png

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When I try to add connection for the number field, I get this error message.  Please tell me what this means and how do I fix it.
