Hello, I am using Ignition **8.1.23** and facing right now an issue with number formatting inside the Table. When i change the current locale to one using ' **,**' as decimal separator, the number format remains with ' **.**' as decimal separator. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/7/9/7926104f6687d3555eebe40947f6f822f4c1f5ce.png) so i created a view containing on top a **NumericEntryField** with the **format** property **not set to none** , and below of it a **table**. Now when i change the locale, the number format of my NumericEntryField is updated and as a side effect of that, the number format inside my table update as well. This keeps working event if i hide the NumericEntryField as long as its **format** property is define. So for me it seems like the perspective table component is not able by itself to trigger the number format process. This means for me that i will always have to have a hidden NumericEntryField on my view to be sure that the format inside the table sweet the selected locale. In that case it will look for me like a bug. It is also possible that i am missing something. Therefore i will be thankfull if you can tell me if it is really a bug or if/what i am missing. Thanks in advance for you help ---

Thanks for describing your workaround. This is still necessary on 8.1.29. ---

Is there a resolution to this problem? I have tested a perspective table in 8.1.43 and I still have the same problem. When changing locale the number format does not change with the chosen locale. ---

Hello team, when does this gets resolved? Please we face this issue for **de-DE** and also for **hu-HU** locale. Only locale **it-IT** seems to be working perfectly for number format. The bug has been there since 2023 ---

Make a support ticket, asking to be added to the notifications for the bug in the title. This does two useful things: - It helps IA know how many users are suffering from this bug, so IA can prioritize it properly, and - It automatically puts you on the list to be notified when the bug is resolved. ---
