Project Variables and Data Typing

Hi

I am a but confused by defininf project variables in DataIku. When I read them back, they are all being typed as string? I understand that I should put all values in quotes when defining the variables, but would have thought there was some type of dynamic typing?

Or do I have to manually do python type conversions on all my variables after reading them in as strings, using get_custom_variables()?

    In the documentation on creating Dataiku Applications, I see the following:

    If types are not honored, why the complex JSON structure? When does one use such a structure and when not? Where do the various options listed come from? Also, I would like to allow the users to see a list of options and select multiple options among them. How is this done? Where can I find an example? Thanks.

    I am about to figure it out. One defines project parameters in the variables area and set up the presentation details in the applications interface.
