@jlunarzewski ,

The SDK exposes the field type as Unknown because it lacks a valueNumber, as you noticed. This means that the service was not able to parse it into a floating point value on their end. If you still want to extract it as a number, you can get the string representation of the field in DocumentField.Content and you will need to parse it on your side.

You can still get the expected field type from the DocumentField.ExpectedType property, which should be set to Double.
