Entering a config value that should be treated as a string

[mickeyambrosius]

I've been fighting a little issue with a config value that should be treated as a string. The value is 092 and if I enter it just like that the system discards the 0 because it treats the value as a number and discards leading 0's. If I enter the value as '092' or "092" the hyphens or quotes are included in the config value (off course that is easily fixed by removing the quotes when setting up the Extension configuration, but just not very nice). Am I doing something wrong or is there a bug somewhere? Maybe a configuration parameter is needed in order to tell the system how to treat the config value.

Btw: It does work properly if I enter the config value directly in config.yml as a string '092'.

Thanks,
