Hi,

Not sure if this is the appropriate forum, but I would like to request that the Numeric Text Field has a “units” property like the Numeric Text Label.  
This would make drag and drop of tags on to the label automatically associated the units, whereas I have to use the suffix option currently.

Also as per the Numeric Text Label  
[inductiveautomation.com/supp … clabel.htm](http://www.inductiveautomation.com/support/usermanuals/ignition/index.html?display_pminumericlabel.htm)  
the format is clearly defined as Prefix + numberFormat(Value, Pattern) + Suffix + Units  
so it would seem that suffix and prefix can be used for some other alternate purposes.

Either way it is far from a deal breaker, just would be nice.
