So on import I’m seeing this error from Strapi:

{
  e: {
    unit_number: [
      'unit_number must be a `string` type, but the final value was: `27`.'
    ],
    exterior_sqft: [
      'exterior_sqft must be a `string` type, but the final value was: `94`.'
    ]
  }
}

Is it possible to let Strapi import this number data as a string anyway?
