• New feature

Description

When issuing a "Reconfigure" Job on a physical device with a single Property of type Number the value set by the UI to the "DesiredProperties" section of the Digital Twin is set as a Text field (quoted value), even though it had been correctly identified as a Number in the UI

As a side effect, from that point on the property displays as "SyncingTo" ... as there will be a type mismatch
...

Steps to reproduce

1. [First step]
   Create a new physical device with a Digital Twin that includes a numeric property

2. [Second step]
   In the RMD UI, schedule a job for the newly created device that Reconfigures the properties for the new device, and set a new value for the numeric property

3. [and so on...]
   Submit the job & wait until it completes

Expected behavior

The desired property would be updated as a numerical value

Current behavior <!-- The actual behavior observed --

The desired property is reported a a string
