Hello,

I have created an Embedded View that I use for entering numeric parameters.

The reason I use an Embedded View is so that I do not need to duplicate the same login and permission-checking scripts on every individual input field. Instead, I only maintain this logic in one place, inside the Embedded View.

Inside the Embedded View, I am using a **Numeric Entry Field** component. Its `value` property is bound bidirectionally to a PLC tag, which represents the parameter value.

My issue is related to regional settings and number formatting.

I have configured the regional settings for Slovenia, where we use a decimal comma instead of a decimal point. The input field works partially as expected: when entering a value, I need to use a decimal comma. However, after the value is entered, the field displays the number with a decimal point instead of a decimal comma.

I would also like to know whether there is a way to define how many decimal places the Numeric Entry Field displays. Ideally, I would like the field to always show a fixed number of decimal places. For example, if the value does not require all decimal places, it should still display trailing zeros. If the value has more decimal places than required, it should be rounded to the configured number of decimal places.

I have attached screenshots of my settings and bindings. If any additional information is needed, I can provide it.

Best regards,  
Žiga Šraj

What version of Ignition are you running? We made several improvements to Perspective's Numeric Entry Field component in 8.3.3 that I would think should fix your decimal comma vs decimal point issue. Also, you should be able to utilize the NEF's `format` property to enforce decimal precision.
