In an issued asset object what do issueraw and multiple represent?

Question

In the following issued asset object:

{
        "name" : "R000G000B000201810141705000001",
        "issuetxid" : "252b7cb88bfd156a5d0605200d3e075ade07890ca1d2880ee6ad43a081245fda",
        "assetref" : "690-266-11045",
        "multiple" : 10000,
        "units" : 0.00010000,
        "open" : true,
        "details" : {
            "color" : "R000G000B000"
        },
        "issueqty" : 2.00000000,
        "issueraw" : 20000,
        "subscribed" : false
    }

what do issueraw and multiple represent and can they be changed through the issue api command? I ask because I didn't set these values and they seem to default to something based on the values I did set.

Answer 1

The issueraw field is the number of raw units issued of the asset - this is the number of display units divided by the smallest unit size (in your case 2 divided by 0.0001). The multiple is the ratio between raw and display units, i.e. 1.0 divided by the smallest unit size.
