Hey so the number input element is set to input to numbers only and the database is expecting number, so why is the error showing?

What is the solution for this?

Can you share a link to your editor? It’s tough to diagnose these things without seeing how you’ve it built. Thanks!

Do you mean the input is set to “text (numbers only)” because that’s actually still a text. If the database field is set to number, then you’ll want the input content type to be integer, decimal, currency, or percentage.
