sharepoint 2010: javascript rest api not returning full decimal values, truncating to tenth

Question

I have a list with a several columns that have number values to fourth decimal place, and I am using javascript com to get data via rest GET request and following simple callback

function onGetScoreCallback(response, eventArgs) {
  var thisData = JSON.parse(response.get_responseData());
  for ( var i = 0; i < thisData.d.results.length; i++ ) {
      $('.selector').text(thisData.d.results[i].Score);
  }
}

Simple. Only I've noticed the value is truncated to the tenth. So I just viewed the source at the ListData.svc/MyList and the xml is showing all the values truncated (not rounded) to the tenth for everything....

Is this normal limitation of this type of approach or am I just missing something. I have been unable to find info on this anywhere.

Answer 1

The value of a return type is formatted as per the WSS default for all fields or that content type.

"Decimal Places Mirrors the Number of decimal places setting in Windows SharePoint Services."

The only possible answer is that someone altered this unknowingly and it either got altered back by a reactivation of a feature which includes that content type, or it being set back.
