This module re-enables the Number (float) and List (float) field types for use in Drupal. These field types were hidden starting in Drupal 11.2 and are now available again through the user interface.
This module restores the Number (float) and List (float) field types for site builders.
In Drupal 11.2, the Number (float) field type was hidden and is no longer available to add to content types via the user interface. Core developers recommend using the Number (decimal) field type instead:

However, a significant problem exists: the Number (decimal) field type has been effectively unusable for the past 11 years due to a persistent bug:
https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/2230909
If you are unable or unwilling to patch the Drupal core after each update, you have no choice but to use the Number (float) type, despite its potential drawbacks. This module was created for this exact reason.
Features
When enabled, this module restores the Number (float) and List (float) field types to the "Add a new field" popup. You can find this at: Administration > Structure > Content types > [YOUR_CONTENT_TYPE_NAME] > Manage fields (https://yoursite.com/admin/structure/types/manage/YOUR_CONTENT_TYPE_NAME...).
Post-Installation
Once you enable this module, the Number (float) and List (float) field types will immediately become available again; no additional configuration is required. If you disable the module, these field types will be hidden from the "Add new field" interface, but any existing field instances you have created will remain untouched and will not be deleted.
