Cast field types in JSON - REST connection

[Nahla_Mabrouk]

i have a rest connection that is getting json response from air table

one of the fields is a text that might have value like 2.10 but when i get the data from the JSON it's converted to numbers which results in 2.1 i tried to convert it using TEXT function in the load but zeros are removed in the result from the JSON

i tried converting it using TEXT function and also with number format like: text(Num#(ID, '0.00'))

i need to cast it in the SQL query when fetching the data but I'm unable to do this

Hi @Nahla_Mabrouk 

Do it with a preceding load - This should solve your problem.

RestConnectorMasterTable:
Load
*,
Text(id) as idText;
SQL SELECT
"id",
"login",
"first_name",
"last_name",
"email",
"restrict_email",
"user_type" as "user_type",
"timezone",
"language",
"status",
"deactivation_date",
"level",
"points",
"created_on",
"last_updated",
"last_updated_timestamp",
"avatar",
"bio",
"login_key",
"custom_field_1"
FROM JSON (wrap on) "root";
