Hi @KasunS98: Can you help us to understand why you are not able to use a edit input and help us to understand what do you mean by edit input as costly?

Check if you can mention a max length in your control (if feasible). Other that this, even if you set the decimal places in the control level, it will just for your visualization. Clipboard will have the actual data.

Please also check if you can make use of decimal property with pyDecimalPrecision property qualifier. Else you may need to validate the property on submit / using edit validate.

You can use custom java scripts to achieve this as mentioned here, But it is not OOTB and not recommended.

Thanks.

@KasunS98,

I can think you can try this option if that helps.  In the fields settings of double type property, you can navigate to Presentation tab under read only formatting, you can set the decimal places value as 2 and under editable settings, you can check the checkbox setting "Display value using read-only formatting" as true. Please refer to attached doc.

But, this will show for display as restricting to 2 places but in clipboard data, you can see whatever user has typed.i.e if more than 2 decimal places if he has given input.

let us know if this approach works for you.

Thanks,
