Leter "E" in data stack translate to constant e.

David will have to answer your question about why the E changes. As a work around just connect a Sequence Component instead of entering the letters manually and it seams to work as expected

Darn, the letter E is clearly parsed as the constant e. Text encased in double quotes will have to be special cased so it's not treated as mathematical expressions.

I escaped letter E by double quotes(screen 1), but it replaced to constant(screen 2). So I think this is a bug.

Yes it's a bug. When text is entered into a generic parameter, it is parsed to see if it represents a mathematical expression. If the result of this expression is text, then it is parsed again and again until the result no longer resembles an expression.

You can use a Text parameter to enter text, then plug it into the D input of the [Stack] component in the meantime.

This now fixed. Data entered into the 'Set Multiple' field of generic parameters is no longer recursively parsed, so "E" will result in the text 'E', whereas just E will result in 2.71828
