## Expected behavior

While creating an object, filling number input using comma separator should store the right decimal values. Eg: Filling “0,5” should result in storing `0.5` in database.

## Actual behavior

On object creation, number input filled with comma `,` separator is not handled, and result in storing only integer part. Eg: filling in `0,5` will store `0`.

Worth noticing that this is working as expected in Edit form, which is supporting both separators `,` and `.`.

Hello @Lucas_Gerard,

Thanks for your message! 🙌

I just tried to reproduce (with version 8.2.7 of `forest-express-sequelize`) but with no success 🤔  
It is actually creating the new record with the decimal number.

Could you please tell me what is the type of your `minimum fee` field is your model? And in your database?  
And please show me the payload of the request sent when creating the new record?

Thanks!

Hello @anon34731316, this is a `float8`, but actually I’ve managed to pin down the issue: this is related to the `defaultValue: 0` option in Sequelize model:

By removing this option, there is indeed no issue.

Is that something you could fix on your side?

Thank you!

Well @Lucas_Gerard, that’s very well spotted! 🙌  
I can reproduce the issue on my hand.

I’ve created a bug report so that it can be fixed in the near future.

Thanks!
