Fully Display Decimals (For Number Relations)

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND

Number relations — specifically, decimals — could use an option to be displayed fully instead of being automatically rounded off.

Example:
6.5045821 is displayed as 6.505
0.00012444 is displayed as 0

HOW COULD IT BE DONE

An off/toggle option for the rounding off in the settings would be nice. Although personally, I believe displaying exactly what you have written should be the default. The app shouldn’t be rounding off decimals without the user’s permission, as it could affect a quick view or glimpse of the document.

REAL WORLD USE CASES

When recording converted currencies in a set, there will be instances when viewing the exact value is preferred. Like if the equivalent amount is too low (ex: 0.0004363473), replacing it with 0 (rounded off by default) makes it look like a blank form/relation.

The actual number is still viewable when you click/edit, but this means you’ll have to select it one by one in order to see the exact written amount. It could be confusing if you’re just doing a quick scan of the set.

In the 0 example above, I thought there was a bug cancelling what I have written.

RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVES

Write as text, but it defeats the purpose of the number relation type.
