BUG/limitation in webCoRE. 9 numbers work, 10 doesnt


#1

1) Give a description of the problem
Trying to put my phone number as “subject” when sending a mail through webcore. 9 numbers are the limitation, but when the tenth number is added, webcore changes the number to something completely different (see photo).

2) What is the expected behaviour?
It will not format 10 numbers to some other number

3) What is happening/not happening?
Number gets formatted.

**4) Post a Green Snapshot of the piston![image|45x37]


5) Attach logs after turning logging level to Full
Logs not necessary, as I can get the automation itself to run, it’s just that webcore changes the number. Ive tried putting the number into a variable, expression, and neither of these work (they get changed/formatted).

Managed to get it to work, had to put the number in a global variable.


#3

On HE these both work for me.

What is with the {} in your numbers - Can you removed them?

DIt’s a good idea to store phone numbers as text rather than numbers. Numbers are represented by a fixed amount of bytes which allows values like this that are too big to “overflow” and show a different value. In this context (an email subject) the value is not required to be a number. Just use Value input or if it has to be an expression use quotes “12345” to represent the number as text. The {} is probably just ignored in expressions, not sure what the intention was.

In a case where a big number is required rather than text, such as sending a number in a JSON web request, store it in a Large number variable.
