Data Type issue

Aakanksha_chandak

In my workflow, the data types (VString, double, etc.) get changed whenever there's a new input or any other change in the flow, I want the type to remain fixed i.e., whatever has been set at the start of the flow should remain constant throughout the flow.

there is no option to make double forced, theres only VString Forced.

On second thought. Try the Mulfi-Field Formula tool. You can force the change consistently there.

In the solution, I can only do for string to numeric or numeric to string, i want it for both, string to numeric and numeric to string or maybe to fixed decimal, how to do that?

What I want is whatever data type I have selected at the start of my flow should remain fixed, shouldnt get changes because of empty columns or new formulas, I want to fix the data type then and there itself.
