Hello,

We are currently facing an issue on the use of the standard attribute requestedQuantity_l. Indeed, the standard attribute is of type integer with a limitation on the dimension (maximum value is 2,147,483,647 for integer values).

However, it emerged the need of having quantities that are bigger than the value that represents the limit and we know that the limit is an hard limit and the only way to have a bigger value is to use float or text attributes. However, we want to continue o use a standard attribute for the quantity and not a custom ones that will imply not having the standard formulas behind as well to all the rules linked to the attribute and changes needed on the integration with other systems.
