Research direction
Investigate the Voyager codebase, specifically the BREAD builder or field type handling logic, likely in app/Controllers/VoyagerBreadController.php or related models. Look for where decimal field length is processed and modify to support precision (total digits, decimal places). Check the issue comments for any suggested code changes or workarounds. Also review Voyager's documentation on field types and migration generation.
