When i use the WebUI.setText function in an input that only allows user to input decimals, it shows error message:

Reason:  
groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: static com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.WebUiBuiltInKeywords.setText() is applicable for argument types: (com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.TestObject, java.math.BigDecimal, com.kms.katalon.core.model.FailureHandling) values: [TestObject - ‘Object Repository/Asia/CPOE/Radiology/input\_Reported Date\_Radiology’, …]

Is there any other method to set the numbers into the input area?
