R Custom Script

Hello

I noticed that in the R Custom script there is a component that is used to convert to numbers... So I have some plate data where one of the columns is a well and noticed that pilot converts any well starting with the letter E to 0 since it probably thinks it's a scientific notation... Is there a reason behind this?

for @ii in 1 .. numproperties() loop
if isinteger(ithproperty(@ii)) then
changepropertytype(ithproperty(@ii), 'Long');
elsif isnumber(ithproperty(@ii)) then
changepropertytype(ithproperty(@ii), 'Double');
end if;
end loop;

cheers
