Error saving config when a string field contains a purely numeric value

[mikuso]

Description

I'm experiencing an issue in the EVerest admin panel preventing me from saving the configuration file when using numeric-looking values in string fields.

Versions affected

Tested against v0.5.1.

Reproduction steps

For any module configuration input field which expect a string value, enter a numeric value instead. (i.e. any value which Javascript understands to be a "number") - for example:

• 123
• -12.34
• 1e2

When attempting to save this config. it will be rejected due to a schema error (expected string, got number).

Comments

Admittedly, this is rarely if ever a problem, but I first noticed this happening when testing with a numeric value for the private_key_password field in the EvseSecurity module. (This issue isn't just limited to this one field though - it affects all string fields.)
