Hi  
I have problem when trying to display a value as float. kindly note that I can displayed properly in Discover but not the case for any type of visualisation  
for more details please refer to the below snapshots  
from Discover

even the calculation in wrong when using json. always using the value as integer  
Example : Value1 = 3.85 value2 = 2.56  
Json value1 + Value2 =5 Should be **6.41**

below is the json script  
'''  
{  
"script"  
"inline": "doc['value1'].value + doc['value2'].value",  
"lang": "painless"

}  
'''  
I need the value to be displayed as floating and calculated as Floating  
Thanks
