How to enter numeric values as quoted string in a config variant?

Hi all,

I have an eCATT test configuration variant where I can enter a STRING parameter which I use for comparison later in the test. When I enter a numeric valule in the variant field as a quoted string (like this '67'), then the system strips the quotes at the time of saving. Although the field is a string field, the contents are not null-terminated. The test therefore fails.

I need to store a number as a null terminated string as a parameter.

Grateful for any workarounds, cheers!
