Metric values containing two dots display incorrectly in DX Dashboards

Products

• DX APM SaaS
• DX Operational Observability

Issue/Introduction

Metric values that contain two dots (such as deployment version strings) display incorrectly in dashboards. The last part of the version string is dropped regardless of the numeric conversion setting (None or String).

Symptoms:

• Version strings like 3.3.#### are truncated to 3.3.
• The build number following the second decimal point is missing from the dashboard visualization.
• This occurs even when the field is configured as a String.

Environment

• DX APM SaaS
• DX Dashboards

Cause

This issue is caused by the version string being incorrectly treated as a numeric format and parsed to a float. The parser stops at the second decimal point, causing truncation of the remaining string.

Resolution

This issue is a regression identified in DE683978.

Targeted to be fixed in release 26.8.2.
