And what would happen if I changed it to FLOAT while there are already metadata stored that has been saved using the TEXT type (but compatible in format with FLOATs)?
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Dec 11 2023 at 13:24):You're right. They should be float. On a related note, this recently merged PR checks for float values:
Add validation for entered coordinate values in Geospatial metadata #10142
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Dec 11 2023 at 13:26):You're very welcome to play around with changing them to float. We should clean this up some day.
Balázs Pataki (Dec 11 2023 at 14:37):Good to know, thanks! We will see then what will blow up if we change to floats. :exploding_head:
