Why is Benchling truncating / rounding off my numbers with 16+ digits?

Issue

A user adds a 16-digit (or more) number to a cell in a table and it gets rounded to zeros in the digits after the 15th.

Environment

Notebook, Tables

 

Cause

Benchling’s Notebook Tables have a 15 digit limit on precision.

 

Resolution steps

Avoid Benchling trying to parse it as a number by entering it as a formula with quotes around it like: ="1234567891234567"
