Input type number with useField casting value to number?

[brandonburkett]

Hello,

I am in the process of upgrading from a really old version of vee-validate (with vue2) to vv4 and vue3.

I am using useField with custom inputs. To my surprise, using input type="number" + passing in a string value via v-model seems to be casting the value to a number. I am using the syncVModel and not using a modifier like v-model.number.

Is there a way to force the value to stay a string instead of being converted to a number?

Thanks!
Brandon

Well... For anyone that lands here while searching, this isn't vee validate, it is vue itself when using v-model + input type number: The number modifier is applied automatically if the input has type="number".
