Formula validity

[Jarred Froman]

1) When creating an expression that has a number followed by garbage data, it evaluates to being a valid expression:
eg:  (MyProperty1 + MyProperty2) * 5kjfakaweri

2) When creating an expression that has a decimal, if it doesn't have a zero in front of the decimal, it doesn't evaluate the expression:
eg:  0.02 <-valid , .02 <-invalid

Hello,

 I have tested your observations at this online demo. I cannot agree that the expression will be valid when you add some 'garbage' data. 

You are right about your second point and this is the expected behaviour. You should write the decimal with a leading digit.

Hi Didie,

1) I tested the online demo as well and came to the same results, although we are still exhibiting the behavior described below.  We are using the non-sp1 version so maybe it was fixed in the service pack.  We have a release coming up and can not upgrade till after, so we will add in a regular expression to catch the issue and test after push out our latest version of the software.

2) If my team and I made this same error, we are quite sure our users will too.  Can support be added to the control to allow decimal values to not require a zero in front in these types of instances?

Thank You,
Jarred Froman

Hi Jarred Froman,

 Indeed, your point is reasonable. I have logged this issue as a Feature Request where you can vote and track its progress.
