Leaderboard Float Stat not working

I was wondering if you found a solution to upload floats to steam leaderboard. Much of what you have written here I found out the hard way - wish I saw this sooner. But I am still in the same boat where I have a racing game whose score is a float. Using Lapiner tools I tried simply changing “int” to "float " where it mentions that as a value…but it messes with connecting scripts. I see in the Steam leaderboards it gives options for seconds and milliseconds as well as the display format I’d be using but does no good if I can’t enter a float. hmph. Let me know if you find an answer and I’ll give a shout back here if I find out something
