Populating float custom field in non-english Jira instance

Jira Development Jira Server

Hi there,
I received a complaint from one of my plugin’s customers in Germany regarding issues not opening. After checking the logs, I found an error message that says:

{customfield_13900='7.5' ist eine ungültige Nummer} (7.5 is an invalid number)

It turns out that the issue is caused by the float separator in Germany being a comma instead of a dot. I was wondering if there’s anything we can do from a development perspective, or if the customer needs to make some changes on their end.

Yes, you can use getString(Double value). It converts double to string that you use in IssueInputParameters addCustomFieldValue(Long customFieldId, String… values) given the current user’s locale.
