Hi, someone please explain me why does the number input (double) node convert the 1 or 2 decimal values to integer when I reopen the script? This reset applies to the Player as well and very annoying as I can’t define 1-2 decimal default values. ![number](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/8/4/84fba088f655bca71ac938134aca7f06baf22be4.gif) ![number2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/5/8/5887725c215a0854fecc8fa6dc2076a4eb57a2dd.gif) ---

Can you give us the Dynamo version you’re using? Can you replicate this in other versions? Does a code block work? ---

I can use number slider instead, but the number node would fit better. ---

Odd. No issues on my end with Dynamo for Revit. Can you try removing all custom package locations and disabling any C3D add-ins? You might also try replicating the problem in sandbox. @zachri.jensen have you ever seen anything like this in C3D? ---

Woah. That is super weird. Never seen that before! I’ll try to do the same on my PC here in a bit. ---

@Michael_Kirschner2 Is this a known issue? ---

I just tried in C3D 2023 and Dynamo 2.13 and can’t replicate the issue. After you save, what does the .dyn value say for the input value? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/9/b/9ba41206503d99aaa0e7d7d8aced500f9a3a02cf.png) ---

~~hmm - I think that this value gets set directly by deserialization code in newtonsoft.json - I guess it could be a localization issue.~~ actually it goes through here: > ---

We could recreate the issue on other machines, so despite it uses InvariantCulture could it be a localization or system setting issue? We are using this one: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/8/3/835085db82cae72a2f0269f59c903dd986075f62.png) ---

What if you explicitly use a double in a CodeBlock? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/2/f/2f847eee384243d60cca06616cd39c4837627fa7.png) What is the value after reopening? ---

It doesn’t change if it’s in CodeBlock. ---

Does it reproduce if you open by navigating to the path instead of using the recent files shortcut? What if you close Dynamo in between runs? ---

Sorry @jacob.small somehow I failed answering this. None of your suggestions work. And the issue is still present in the latest D4C3D release. As I see it appeared for other users as well. For me the problem is present only at 1 and 2 decimal places (trailing zeros don’t count). At 3 (node does not allow more) it works as should. > [@Number node issue](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/number-node-issue/51957/6): > > Here is my version :[image] ---

Please submit a ticket to Autodesk support via the accounts portal at [manage.autodesk.com](http://manage.autodesk.com). Include a link to a recording reproducing the issue in 2024.1 and a .dyn file with an offending node in it. ---

Do you get the same issue when using Dynamo Sandbox, or only Dynamo for Civil 3D? ---

Sadly not; current product issues need to be submitted via the accounts portal or they never get picked up. ---
