String conversion only one past number

Solved!

Why do I only get one past number?

STRING [XXXXX.XXXXXXXX] => FLOAT [XXXXX.X]

extended float to default did not help 😞

Correction: it is currently set up to display 6 Significant Digits.  And since you have 5 digits before the decimal point, you only get 1 digit displayed after the decimal point.  If you change to Digits of Precision, you will see more numbers after the decimal point.

 

So the data is actually correct, it is just how you are displaying it.
