Our legacy REST service has a field that is returned as a String, but it is actually an Int. Other subgraphs refer to this field as an Int. Is there anyway to convert the type?

Hi there!

We will have a `parseInt` arrow method available in Connect 0.3 which will allow you to parse a string into an integer.

Please reach out to your account rep and we can look at getting you early access to Connect 0.3 when we have a preview available!
