Increase the number of decimals for a custom Number field

Lan Anh September 26, 2024

I am using Jira Data Center and noticed Jira Number fields only hold a maximum of 3 decimals and truncated the rest, regardless of how many the user may entered.

Is there a configuration in Jira I can change this?  Has anyone find a solution to this? The only one I can currently think of is to use a Text field instead of a Number field.  However, for Text field I'll have to write custom code to validate the input and I want to avoid this.

Thanks!

I believe that's how the number field type is coded and that there isn't any "general" setting in Jira to modify it.

You might find a plugin that adds a new custom field type that doesn't truncate the decimals, but I don't think I know one from the top of my head, never seen one.

Can't say I can be of much use here other than confirm that which you already suspect.
