Description

Steps to reproduce:

- Run Refactor fields using the attached shapefile

- Go to field "Nt", change its type to "double" and set Precision to 0

- The new field still has "Nt" as "int". If the Precision is changed to 1 or more, it works.

FieldsMapper use standard processing function "output.getVectorWriter" to create output storage, and give it selected type and precision.
With type double and precision 0, I confirm that resulting field is displayed as integer in fields tab of layer properties dialog.

IS this a Processing issue or a QGIS one? Processing just passes the precision value to the QgsField object, and it seems that QGIs is not handling it as it should

Still true on master, please change the category if it is a QGIS issue rather than a Processing one.

This is not a Processing bug and even not QGIS one. Seems GDAL does not allow to create float fields with zero precision
