2934267 - Dump when assigning a value to an extension field of type DecimalValue

You observe a dump with either the below error:

Attempt to save a value to a field of type Decimal value that exceeds their length.

Fields of Type 'Decimal Value' by default are restricted to 7 digits with a limit of 2 decimal places within that.

1. An annotation will need to placed on the creation of the PDI extension field of type DecimalValue to allow a value greater than the default decimal value restriction.
2. This annotation cannot be added to the field once it has been deployed - not even through a patch. A new field will need to be created with the annotation.
3. In the below example, it can be see that the element num_flag is restricted to 7 digits with 2 decimal places by default where CalAmount has annotation added that allows 16 digits with 6 of those as decimal place digits.
