changed title from Fix default string values with floats for float types. Fixes to Fix default string values with floats for float types

changed the description

This issue was noted for algorithms, but a proper fix could not be set as they affect v1 versions of the algorithms.

For plotters, this shouldn't be a problem though.

Reminder: Once this is merged, we need to fix that on the production platform too.

Makes sense. Thx, A
