Add a new integer variable
Edit the cell in the newly created column, e.g. input 12345678901
It only allows to input up to 10 digits.

Fixed in V201

GeoDa 1.12.1.201 (macOS Mojave, 10.14.3). Feb. 20 build.

Fix verified. Integers now allow more than 10 digits (the new limit is 19 digits).

Thanks, @Ashitacarl
Yes, the new limit is 19 digits, which is for max value of int64 number: 9223372036854775807

When input number in the newly created column (integer type), the number is NOT right-aligned.

continue:

1. “displayed decimal places” in table can't be saved to GeoDa project (.gda) file.
2. add "default displayed decimal places" option in preference dialog

[lixun910]

Users can set "default displayed decimal places" in the Preference dialog.

1. Users need to reopen the dataset to apply the new setting.
2. If using a GeoDa project file (*.gda), the displayed decimal places in *.gda file will overwrite the setting in the Preference dialog.

Fix in V205
When save a GeoDa .gda file, the displayed decimal places should be written in .gda file. GeoDa will read and use the displayed decimal places in .gda file.

The fix of this issue by introducing new types of cell editor also touches the logic of "Add ID Variable":

In this fix, when a new column is inserted into table, all cell values are set to undefined (or empty) flag. So that user will get a "empty" newly created column:

However, using "Add ID variable" to insert a new column with values, the undefined flags should be set to "false" so that the program can read the values in this column. Otherwise, the POLY_ID column will be empty:

This issue needs to be fixed.

GeoDa 1.12.1.211 (macOS Mojave, 10.14.3). Mar. 18 build.

Fix verified.

1. New option "Default displayed decimal places in Table" in Preferences/Data Source that applies to all tables imported to GeoDa. This only influences the displayed decimal places but not actual decimal places.

2. GeoDa project file (*.Gda) can save the decimal places and overwrite that specified in default preferences.

3. Add ID variable does not produce an empty column.
