Error message - Value must be a number.:

Dear all,

Has someone experienced this? When I try to save my data entry form (event program without registration), it shows error messages for all my number fields “Value must be a number.:”, particularly those I have left blank. Is this a bug? I have not declared any of these variables as mandatory but this error message shows up for all my number variables whenever I am saving. How can I go round this?

Dear all,

I now realize that this error message comes up for variables declared as integer / Positive integer / Positive or Zero integer. It does not happen if a variable is declared as a number. I think the integer data type is declared in code as required. I think it would be best if error messages are not flagged for integer data types as well if one leaves the field blank on data entry.
