Hi @vgledhill

The text field will save its values as strings.
For the case of the number field, you can get the raw database value by assigning a false parameter to the get_field() like so:

$value = get_field('fieldname',false,false);

You can also use casting within the acf/format_value to ensure that the values are loaded in a particular format: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acf-format_value/
