Additional Information

This behavior is by design. The geocoder recognizes the 'Quarter' field as a potential address field and therefore considers it a string.

Workaround

Rename the field to something else (for example, 'Quarter1' or 'Q1') when publishing to be able to publish the field as an integer.
