Decimal value saving incorrect to Dynamics 365 CRM, localization issue NL?

[Wingetje]

Hi,

I am developing a powerapp to CRUD some data from our Dynamics 365 CRM (using the default Dynamic 365 connector).

The app is using Dutch localization "nl-NL", checked with the "Langauge()" function. Our CRM instance has Dutch as default language. Everything works well except saveing decimal value. It will get saved as whole number. The decimal value will always convert to a whole number.

E.g.: 1.25 will become 125 after saved in CRM.  

I don't know which layer is causing this problem. I have tried every possible "decimal related solutions" on the forum, but none of them work. Please see attachment crm example.jpg there is no problem with have 2 digits decimal value in CRM entity.

See attachment err powerapps.jpg browser developer tool the JSON data posting to the connector. You do see the decimal values looking well as "expected". 

Anyone have had this issue? Any help/workaround is appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Wingetje,

Sorry that you have this issue. I saw in your screenshot that this value seems to be updated within an edit form. If so, one possible workaround I could think of is that you could set the Update property of this data card to:

Value(DataCardValue1.Text)/100

Hi @v-monli-msft,

Thank you for your suggestion, actucally I have already tried this workaround before. 

But that is not working, even with this workaround when I entered e.g. 0,75  (thus powerapps sent 0.75 / 100  as result back to the server), then the record will still be saved as 75 in Dynamics CRM.

Anyhow at the meanwhile I have opened a support ticket and working on this with Harsha Reddy (Engineer - Microsoft Business Intelligence). Printscreens and details logs are sending back to the technical team. 

Once when we know the cause and/or the solution I will post it here to help the others on the community forum.

Regards,

Wingetje

Hi,

I've just met this very same problem.

The strange thing is that until yesterday evening the app saved the numbers properly regarding the place of the decimals. But since then, out of the blue, it started this error.

To check the operation of the form, I write the mistaken datacard update value to a label on the screen. The value appears there correctly, but in the Sharepoint list it is saved wrongly, the value is multiplicted by 100.

One additional info: we have just realized that there are users of the app, where the saving of the value to the Sharepoint list is correct, while at me and at another colleague is not.

I don't know whether it might have any connection to the local language settings, but where the problem is valid, the language setting of the environment hu-HU, and where there is no problem it is en-US
