Question: how to change ODataV4 batch request IEEE754Compatible

Greetings,

this is not a bug but a question regarding how to change ODataV4 batch request IEEE754Compatible. Please forgive me if this is not the right place to ask questions.

I am using SAPUI5 1.95.0 (not openui5) OData V4 with SAP/CAP in batch mode and found out that countdistinct is returning result as String type instead of Int64 type. This is because UI5 set http header Accept to IEEE754Compatible=true in batch mode. This is defined by the OData protocol.

Is there a way to set IEEE754Compatible=false?

Many thanks!

What I’ve tried and failed:

1. Manually override Accept header in manifest.json like below

{
	"sap.ui5": {
		"models": {
			"": {
				"settings": {
					"httpHeaders": {
						"Accept": "application/json;charset=UTF-8;IEEE754Compatible=false"
					}
				}
			}
		}
	}
}

1. Set OData system query option $format when binding using method bindList

Hi @shawgum,

currently there is no way to override or change the accept header. I will discuss this with my colleagues and see what can be done here. This won’t happen until mid of January, as most of the colleagues are on vacation.
