Auto-generated Model Types Decimal Fields as String

[hansanawijethunga]

Data types generated i incorrectly types certain Dataverse Edm.Decimal fields as TypeScript string. When these string values are serialized and sent to the OData endpoint, the server rejects the payload because it expects a numeric type, not a string-encoded value.

Error
ODataException: Cannot convert a value to target type 'Edm.Decimal' because of
conflict between input format string/number and parameter
'IEEE754Compatible' false/true.

Full path in stack trace:
ODataJsonLightPropertyAndValueDeserializer.ReadPrimitiveValue
→ ODataJsonLightResourceDeserializer.ReadEntryDataProperty
→ ODataInputFormatterHelper.ReadFromStream

Affected Field Types

Any Edm.Decimal or Edm.Double column whose generated TypeScript type is string instead of number.

I was able to reproduce this. I'm working on a fix and will have an update soon.
