Hi, I’ve heard that CH allows for a maximum of 8 digits after the decimal point for e.g. share price nominal value - is that correct?

I have a company with a share price nominal value of £1e-9 - i.e. £0.000000001 - is that possible to set  
a) by a manually submitted SH01  
b) over the API?

Sorry for the delay.  
Unfortunately our electronic filing systems only cater for 6 decimal places at present. In order to capture share capital data that requires more than 6 decimal places you need to file on paper, so that the correct information is available on the public record.
