No, there are no error messages. The behaviour is just very strange (or even incorrect)

Suppose that this is a task that is cloned:
base_task = replacement_task.create_function_task( func=some_func, # type: Callable func_name=f'func_id_run_me_remotely_nr', # type:Optional[str] task_name=f'a func task', # type:Optional[str] # everything below will be passed directly to our function as arguments some_argument=message, some_argument_2=message, random_number=2 )
When in the code above I do for example
s['Function']['random_number'] = random.random()
Then in some_func
argument random_number is 2 (instead of random number).

When I pass a string, then in some_func I'll parse it to float again - it works
