Formatting number field for GP Service

Question

We have a GP service where the last step is to add a field (DOUBLE, holds 2 decimal places) - and does a field calculation.  It's going from feet to miles - we only want to display 2 decimal places - so .34 miles instead of .34125823672... for example.

All works correctly running the tool in ArcMap - the output dataset is an in_memory feature layer, with the correct properties in the calculated miles field.

Using the tool through a GP Widget in WAB (Portal, 10.6) - the field in question displays all of the decimal places - not respecting what was set in the script.

Any way to enforce this in the Widget config (nothing obvious I could see) or tool config in arcmap?

Thanks -

Allen

Hi Allen,

Can you update the Field Calculation and use Python to round the calculation (i.e. round(val, 2)) to two decimal values?
