I know you can limit the number of characters in a Numeric Text Field, but is there anyway to limit a label down to just 2-4 significant figures?

Use the numberFormat expression: [numberFormat - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/numberFormat)

Link the tag to a custom property on the label. Use the expression on `text` to format from the custom property.
