text(): round before you format

Medium

Return the score to one decimal place, rounded the ordinary way: 7.25 becomes "7.3" and 9.96 becomes "10.0".

text() on its own cuts extra decimals off rather than rounding them.

Appian Expression Tips

  • • Use ri!variableName for rule inputs
  • • Use a!localVariables(local!x: …, body) for locals
  • • Use a!forEach(items: …, expression: fv!item) to iterate
  • • Use where() / reject(fn!isnull, list) to filter
