Symptom

Formatting of MDM Real, Measurement or Currency field types with 1 or more digits after the decimal point appear to be different when comparing these fields in Item Details Edit mode to Item Details View mode.
Other terms

MDM, Portal, iViews, Item Details, MDM 5.5, Real, Measurement, Currency
Reason and Prerequisites

You have created a MDM Standard Item Details iView and that includes either a Real, Measurement or Currency field. Field formatting in view mode is done according to the MDM Console settings (e.g. Decimal places, Dimension etc.) using the MDM Java API, while for edit mode, formatting is handled by generic portal formatting infrastructure.
Solution

Since the underlining MDM repository data is not affected by the formatting discrepancies, there is no risk of unintentional data modification. This behavior is by design and is only a result of the differences between these formatters.
As of MDM 7.1 SP02 and MDM 5.5 SP06 Patch04, MDM iViews behave in the same manner for both View and Edit mode and the formatting is done according to Java standard.
