The revised dataset uses a sql executor and the value is 0.00001600. The value from the sde is 1.6e-5.

When using a change detector always show as updated when the values have not actually changed. Can I fix this in the sde reader or is there a way to ensure that there is no conversion to scientific notation?

You can use a StringFormater:

You probably also want to use an AttributeRounder set to something meaningful, as comparing floats is notoriously tricky in some cases.

Worked great once I realize to add to both the origin and revised inputs. Thanks!
