Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing this in Apache Hop 2.8 on Windows with a dataset whose numeric field has no format, length, or precision. Investigate the Metadata component and compare the saved value, reopened dataset, and CSV output. Done means a value such as 3.14 is preserved after reopening and in the CSV, or the behavior is documented as guaranteed.
