Hello, is it possible to set a ratehighprecision field type with a percentage through the soap api?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Yes, it is possible to set a ratehighprecision field type with a percentage through the SOAP API. However, you might need to handle the value as a string and use the

setText

method instead of

setValue

. This is because the

setValue

method might interpret the percentage as a decimal, causing unexpected results. Here is a sample code snippet:

javascript
record.setText({
    fieldId: 'rate',
    value: '20%' // your percentage value
});

Also, if you are dealing with a situation where the rate is being multiplied by the quantity, you might need to divide the amount by the quantity before setting the rate. Consider using a library like

bignumber

for precision in division calculations. If you need to set a rate with more than 2 decimal places, you would need to apply custom logic via script or potentially workflow to round or truncate as needed. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
