Thousands separator in edit field

Hi,

I need to display thousands separator in edit fields. As you can see on screenshot, in blue rectangle I have thousands separator by default - this field is connected to IDO property. But in red rectangle thousands separator is missing. This field is connected to Form Variable.

How can I get thousands separator to this? I know that I can work with Input Mask property according to this: https://docs.infor.com/mg/2025.x/en-us/mongooseolh/default.html?helpcontent=comp_input_mask_prop.html but I am not able to get it working properly.

Please can you help me about that?

In the Properties of the Edit field, under Binding expand Data Type and set the Underlying Type to DECIMAL. No Input Mask required unless you want to set the number of decimals.

Please I have one more question. How to correctly setup number formatting then?

For this number I need display three decimal places all the time, even if they will be all zero.

Under Data Type property, I can only setup Length, but Decimal Point Position is greyed out.

Sorry for the late reply. That is done using the Input Mask. You can find it a bit further down under the Formatting section.

The available options are described here: https://docs.infor.com/mg/2025.x/en-us/mongooseolh/default.html?helpcontent=mgwsolh_mg/cfo1666586054903.html
