From the control property editor:

Change the representation on the Data Type Tab to a floating point type, DBL will do.

Then go to the Display Format Page and increment "Digits" to something greater than1

 

That switches the Values Column on the Edit Items tab to %.6f or, 6 Digits of precision. Next, Uncheck Sequential values and there you are.

 

If you think that is still too limiting, Go back to the Display Format and select SI Notation and you can type anything (But, the editor has a hissy fit so you need to programatically load Strings and Values[] property with a property node)  

 

I've been fighting to get NI improve that property editor for years!

No problem- go back and read my edit on using property nodes to load SI Notation values if you need a larger range of values
