Hi,

I create a new test tag “Prova” and I insert the format string inside, see below

When I insert this tag inside text PROPS in a label component I do not see the correct number formatting, see below the image

This is my first time that I use prespective module.  
Is there another method to see the number in the prespective module?

If the label isn’t showing the correct number formatting, you can add a transform to the binding.

After binding the tag, add a transform to it (in the example above, I use a Format transform) and enter in the format pattern you’d like the label’s text to use.
