jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid

I am looking to access the actual value returned from the server.getRowData only returns the value after unformat applied to the value. This results in loss of information.

For instance if a double value is rounded to two decimal places and if I want to populate the form for edit with the original value returned from the server with 6 decimals, how can I get the value returned.

for eg:

Value returned from server : 12.345678

formatter option for column : formatter: 'number', formatoptions: {thousandsSeparator: ",", decimalPlaces: 2}

Value displayed in grid : 12.35

It would be nice to be able to retrieve the value 12.345678 returned from the server.

This would also come in handy when there are a few undisplayed values from the entities which are used else where on the screen. This will save additional ajax calls from being made to the server.

There could be a performance cost to this hence it can be made an optional feature.

Thanks.
