[IGN-6943] Perspective NumericEntryField wrong behavior with locale

[miketob]

Hello. I am using Ignition 8.1.48 and I'm having problem with the Numeric Entry and locales:

My locale is es-MX, that is, we use comma for thousands and point for decimal places (just like en-US)

But when I type a number like 1,500.5 and press enter, it changes to 1.500,5 when I choose a format, if I select format=none it works ok, but I lose the comma.

Here's an example:

Locale formatting issue in Perspective (pt-BR) – numberFormat ignores regional settings

You can provide an explicit locale to the gateway by providing explicit language and country parameters: You can test by running system.util.getLocale() somewhere on the gateway (but not Perspective), such as a report/alarm pipeline/tag script/etc.

Yes, it's very similar to the first link.

And yes, I'm following the instructions of the second link.

Yes, the inability to supply and properly format a decimal value with a comma as the decimal separator is a known issue. I'll update the ticket to reflect that additional customers have encountered the problematic behavior.
