Change in KVS function: Need setting to force value type (number, string, json) in KVS data

[Martin_]

Hi.

Don't know if this is the place to post, please move this post if it is not.

 

I was doing some testing today with scripting and using KVS to store data in json format.

However, anytime we manually edit data in a KVS variable the type changes.

 

This is a big problem as it switches from json to string automatically and then you can't change the values, as the value is over 255.

Can we have a setting to force the data type in the KVS variables?

 

Automatically generated json KVS value from a script = works, the encoded length is 220.

 

As soon as i try to change a value, the value assumes that it's now a string, and the character count goes up to 449 = over the 255 limit.

Then we can't edit and save.
