Hello team! Does anyone know how to change the default thousands separator to comma (,) instead of a point? Specially for a currency format input field. The current format displays for example: **$1.250,25** but I need it to be: **$1,250.25** Is this possible? Thanks! ---

Hey there 👋 Hope this can shed some light on the matter for you. You can use formatted as: to make it look how you want it to. Here is an example: Preview: [https://805testapp42.bubbleapps.io/version-test/currency\_format?debug\_mode=true](https://805testapp42.bubbleapps.io/version-test/currency_format?debug_mode=true) Editor: [https://bubble.io/page?type=page&name=currency\_format&id=805testapp42&tab=tabs-1](https://bubble.io/page?type=page&name=currency_format&id=805testapp42&tab=tabs-1) ---

Hi @J805!! Thanks for your reply! Yes you’re right, I managed to do it that way for displaying, however I wanted to know if there is a way to change the format directly in the input element. When you enter a number in a currency formatted input element, it automatically displays the thousands separator (a point) while you are typing a 4 digit number. So I want to know if that can be changed to a comma instead. Thanks for the help! ---

This is interesting because yesterday @mirko.heimburger had the exact opposite problem. He was trying to get the input to display 1.000,00 I couldn’t find a way to change this from the default 1,000.00 so I am curious how you were able to do this. ---

If the defaults don’t seem to be working, there is a plugin that they can use to change the formatting: [https://bubble.io/plugin/input-formatter-1511219683528x454660121898516500](https://bubble.io/plugin/input-formatter-1511219683528x454660121898516500) I wonder if it depends on what language they are using or something like that. ---

I tried the plugin and it works for what I needed, thank you! The only thing is that when I set a prefix like ‘$’, the value is not recognized as a number but I thing this can be fixed with the convert to number function Thanks again for the support! ---

Glad that worked! 😊 This sort of thing shouldn’t be that difficult. Maybe file a bug report if you think it should work without the plugin. Glad you got something working though. 👏 ---
