Whenever I impute a subset of numeric fields, every numeric field is converted to a double regardless of whether I chose to impute it or not.
This is a huge issue when I work with fixed decimal fields. All results get rounded to the nearest integer, regardless of whether I chose to impute the field or not.
@dyamichael thanks for the find. We have escalated this up to get this resolved. You do have other options if you are attempting to just replace Nulls with zeroes. You can use the Multi-field formula tool to replace the nulls with 0 or use the Data Cleanse.
You also have the option of running the data through the Imputation tool as a Double and then changing it to a Fixed Decimal after the Imputation tool.
Any update on this? Plans to fix? I just discovered this error as well. It rounds all numeric values to integers, less than ideal. Therefore converting after the fact is useless as the decimals have already been cut off.
Ah, I see it was fixed in 2020.2 (this thread), which I haven't updated to yet (dang server!) I will update my imputation tools to version 3 in existing workflows once I update. For now I'll just use the multi-field formula tool. Thanks!
