I'm not sure whether this is a bug or an intended feature. I have a table column with decimal values that are correctly displayed using commas. However, when I double-click to edit a cell, the comma changes to a dot, and if I commit the value, it gets saved as an integer in SQL. What I want is for the value to still show the comma as the decimal separator when editing the cell. Is this possible?

What do you have the column `render` value set to? I would try setting it to `string`.

If I set it to string it always shows decimals with a dot. I'd rather see a comma in both the starting and editing cell... Anyways, if that's not possible your approach is alright as it's consistent.

You could instead use an embedded view with either a Text or Numeric Entry Field.
