Integer Variables do not return 0 in API calls

[Bar343]

Has your issue been reported?

• I have searched the existing issues and confirm it has not been reported.
• I give permission for members of the FlutterFlow team to access and test my project for the sole purpose of investigating this issue.

Current Behavior

When making an API call, a JSON Syntax error is returned when integers are not set. This is not an expected behavior as integers have default value of 0, but this does not happen in Flutterflow when using variables. Took me and a support member sometime to isolate this. integer variables SHOULD be set to 0. as formatting the JSON body does not return any errors, implying that values are correctly set.
I had to manually input the default value of 0 into each variable. It should be clear that this is not a default behaviour.

Expected Behavior

integer variables should have default value of 0, or the format button should pick up the error and let the user know.

Steps to Reproduce

1. create a POST request that requires (optional) integer inputs.
2. create variables that correspond to the inputs.
3. place the variables in the corresponding keys in the JSON body and run the request.

Reprodcible from Blank

• The steps to reproduce above start from a blank project.

Context

Delayed the completion of the project as the API call was critical.

Can you provide a screenshot as well?

images are attached. thank you.

@Bar343 is it possible to show the same response from Insomnia or PostMan as well to see the differences?

[Bar343]

To my knowledge, in Postman, inputting 0 is what defines it as an integer (see attached), so the error does not occur. Thus, when a variable in Flutterflow is set to integer, zero should be a default as this is the expected behaviour.

@Bar343 I got what you mean, but did you try to put 0 as default value for the variables that are int and test it?
You are right as the default value of an int should be 0 I will mark this issue as bug and let FF decide if it is as there might be some logic behind this that I do not know why it is like that.

[Bar343]

Hi, yes, adding the zeroes manually is how I managed to get around it. However, this should return a formatting error, as integers not defaulted to zero are essentially non-existent. Thank you for your time, it's much appreciated. I'd love to know the reasoning as well.
