Support for "Real" data type representation in the WebGUI

We need to have a "Real" data type on our object server which we will later use for creating a custom page and line chart graph on it. On the line chart graph, we need to put a latency param and latency threshold which both are real numbers (0.8, 1.5, etc.)


Currently, WebGUI doesn't support real numbers and we have an error. Also, probes will not work if we create a new column (real data type) on the object server.

    Hello and thank you for your RFE submission. We have evaluated the use case and the work involved to implement and agree this is an improvement to the WebGUI experience and allows for more flexbile and granular visualizations. However, we cannot prioritize this at the moment but have included it in our backlog for consideration within the next 12 months. We will reach out should the status change.
