Bug? Numeric variables in custom xAPI statements
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Using numeric user variables in custom xAPI statements gives an error within Storyline (see attachments 1 & 2) and forces them to be converted to Strings which gives an error in xAPI calls (see 3 & 4).
Manually removing the quotation marks (") (and related escape characters) in the published export (html5/data/js/xxxxxx.js) resolves the issue (see 5 & 6).
Was about to submit a bug report but just wanted to check I'm not doing something daft here?
Edit: included barebones project file
Thanks,
PJ

Hello PJ,
Thank you for opening a support case!
I see you are working with my colleague Cleo, who logged this behavior as a possible software bug where Storyline only accepts the variables if they are inside a String (quoted), instead of a number.
We are investigating the issue, and we will let you know once we have new information to share.
Hope that you have a great day and happy developing!☀️
Thanks, I'm on annual leave for the coming week so won't be picking up emails etc. Looking forward to a fix :)
