I can't find a lookup for the values in this field, can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.
The `category.source.type` has to values that determine the real type if you are really interested: the `primitaveType` and the `extendedType`.
Both are enums and a pretty accurate definition is available at:

In case of the screenshot Ignat: the primitiveType is 3 (`Double`) and extendedType 259 (`Double`).
And to determine the difference between a `Double` and `Decimal` is the extendedType property: `259` vs `258`

Not sure if understand the issue well. Do you want to detect column type?

Yes, exactly. This has numeric codes, I'd like to know what they map to.
To detect column type please use metadata.type.numeric
Other parts of the API appear to distinguish "double" from "decimal". So that "valueEncoded" for a numeric might be digits followed by an M or a D (or L for integer). How to distinguish "double" from "decimal"?
