Strings interpreted as numeric value in Inserted Columns in Grid Widget

[Daniel Kramarz]

Description
If an inserted column in a Grid Widget shows a string/text that is comming from a function =DBRW or =XY1 (reference to another column), the string is interpreted and formatted as a number. As a consequence, all points in the string are converted into a comma.

To Reproduce
For example, the function =DBRW("DB_ISTAR","}ElementAttributes_iStAR_Projekte",A1,"PZ_NL") in an inserted column refers to a String-attribute and should return “BNA.21.00.00.00”. However, the presented text is “BNA,21,00,00,00”. => All points in the string are converted to a comma.

The same applies when referring to another column with text in it, such as =XY1, all points in the string (from source column XY1) are converted into a comma, which is not the expected behaviour.

Expected behavior
If a string is presented in an inserted column, it shall NOT be modified by any number formatting. In particular, points (“.”) must not be changed into comma (“,”) within the string.
