Custom property values
When entering custom property values, the application converts values as follows:
▪Convert numeric character to a long if the value allows it.
▪Convert decimal and numeric character to a double if the value allows it.
▪Convert non-numeric characters to a string. If the string value is a double-quoted numeric type ("123" or "123.4"), the value is saved it without the quotes.
▪Convert True/true and False/false to boolean values.
