Hello, On the course [Adding a Transform - Creating the Overview](https://inductiveuniversity.com/video/bip-adding-a-transform) a transformation is applied to the value to display “nn.nn” (3min40s). The transformation Patern ##.## is ok in Configuration tag binding (pic1) ![pic1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/e/7/e7fea3d2418e2e7a24720cbd0b4914061cf3b5f4.png) The transormation is not applied : the decimal are not shown (45 instead of 45.56 by example) and there is an warning on the component : “value.value : string found, number expected.” I think is about regional settings : on my PC (win10), the decimal separator is “,”. I think the return value after transormation has a “,” and become a string instead of a number. If I use a script transformation, the result is ok (45.56) but the warning is still there (like in the video). What do you think ? Thanks ---

`#.##` means optional numbers in these positions. `0.00` means “must have numbers in these positions”. ```nohighlight Sample #.## 0.00 3 3 3.00 3.7 3.7 3.70 3.70 3.7 3.70 3.75 3.75 3.75 ``` ---

Very nice ! 2 transformations to have, at end, a float. It’s smell like a little bug, no ? Thanks ! ---

It’s not a bug. The format transform in pattern mode is meant to return a formatted string, but the vessel prop expects a number
