Hello Dan, To find out what is the data type of a field you need to get the its class with $field.class and depending on your needs, you can have something like: $field (1) $field.class (class java.lang.Integer) $field.class.name (java.lang.Integer) $field.class.simpleName (Integer) Hope this is what you need, Alex On Wed, Aug 3, 2016 at 2:07 AM, dullfig <dan.u(a)grmcompany.com> wrote:
