I’m trying to use the Random Number Generator but it seems to be spitting out the result as text even though I have only numbers selected. Anyone know how to make this work?

Yes it only does spit out text. You can convert it to number using one of the hacks around. Two of the hacks I know only work on client-side, so aren’t any good in an API workflow. Another hack is to send it to mathjs, which works server-side.
@emmanuel it would be really nice if the text function :extract... gave the option to extract numbers from text.

What are the 2 hacks for client side?
A. Put value in input text configured for numbers.
B. Toolbox Expression, or for workflow events Run javascript > Javascript to Bubble.
