Error Messages

0.10 is not a valid decimal value

Steps to Reproduce

Root Cause

A defect in Pegasystems’ code or rules.
The pxDropDown control doesn’t work properly with decimal validation when the local used is using comma as separator.
This happens because the pxDropDown control is passing the value with dot as separator without taking account of the user local. Then validation process the value and return the error.

Resolution

Perform the following local-change: 

-    First solution: Disable client side validation as the flow action/harness level by unchecking "Enable client-side validation":


-    Second solution: Use a text property instead. If you need a decimal property for some calculation, you can populate it via a declare expression. See example below:
Text property definition:



 

Declare Expression on which a decimal property will be populated:
