BoundedIntegerInput results in str about chainner HOT 4 CLOSED

This is something I've known about for a while and I have no idea what causes it. My hunch is it has something to do with converting it from the JSON the frontend sends, or maybe when converting to JSON it becomes a string. I haven't looked into it much, and as you can see I just make sure to parse it to int every time. But yeah, I need to figure that out because it is annoying

By the way, are you in the discord? I can add you to the private development channel and we can discuss implementation details a bit more easily

JSON.stringify will only save it as a string if it has been a string before. Well, whatever it is that is converting numbers to strings, it's consistent. The .cha files also have ints as strings.

Not yet. One sec.

The default input in any number field is an int, but as soon as you type something, it switches to a str. I feel like this maybe has to do with how the frontend handles textbox inputs.
