Pass string value to number column

Hi Team,

I would like to request a way to be able to pass a string value to a numeric column without schema.parse or changing the model to object.  This would allow us to use all sorts of functions/behaviors related to the number type (filtering, editing, etc.).  

Thank you!

Hello,

If the desire is to not iterate over the items you can define a parse function for the model field like demonstrated here. In all other cases forcing strings to behave like numbers is not a good idea.
