I have a Numeric input, and when pressed it opens the keypad and when I enter a value it does not update the value tag. I cant find what I am missing. Not a lot of help in the discussions for people who are not familiar with ignition or python

I'm not familiar with that function but after looking at the manual it seems that the function is suposed to return to you the new value, try this:

```python
event.source.intValue = system.gui.showNumericKeypad(event.source.intValue)

```
