I'm trying to program a javascript Switch-function inside of a faceplate where the action of the button is depending on the given property

I've added the propery interface ActionValue as a LInt and added the following (minimized) code to my button. However, as the first trace shows the value i enter, even if it is 8 or 9, it always executes the default condition.

let Value = Faceplate.Properties.ActionValue;

HMIRuntime.Trace("Value is " + Value);

switch (Value) {

case 8:

HMIRuntime.Trace("Action 8 is executed);

break;

case 9:

HMIRuntime.Trace("Action 9 is executed);

break;

default:

HMIRuntime.Trace("Default action is executed");

break;

}

 I expect it has something to do with the datatype, as I've learned the switch uses a === comparison. However, i cant seem to get a match in the value in any way.

Any hints on how to proceed?

Try converting the "value" to a number to make sure it is a number for the "switch" instruction.

let value = Number(Faceplate.Properties.ActionValue);

 Thanks for this! this worked. Apparently a LInt is not recognized as one in the script editor automatically.
