Long numeric field values display in scientific notation
Last updated 2022-02-10 ·Reference W-1786392 ·Reported By 6 users
Summary
When displaying a number field which contains long number, site.com page displays scientific notation number instead of actual number.
Repro
1. Create a number field on any sobject - leave the defaults (length:18, decimal places:0). Make sure to modify the FLS for the new field on the sites guest user profile.
2. Add a long integer to one or more records e.g. 1234567890123
3. On a site page, add a data repeater or data table for the sobject.
4. Add a data element (or column) for the new field. Leave the formatting as Text.
5. View the site (published or preview), and notice the number will display in scientific notation e.g.
Workaround
Create a text formula field to convert the value to text e.g. TEXT(MyNumberField__c). This is temporary workaround until the bug is addressed.
