I want a numeric field that validates and allows commas for entering currency values. Is there a way to do that now? If not, what is the workaround you suggest?

Similar questions were asked more than 2 years ago here:

This suggests using a single line field instead of numeric. This would require writing our own custom validation function to allow the commas?

The user who posted this one used a jQuery plugin instead. The link to the plugin is hidden in the thread. Could you tell me which one did the user use?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - the numeric field do not allow comma natively and as suggested you need to use custom code to allow that.

Here are a few links that may help you:

Thanks. We're able to add commas, but were hoping there's a way to get it to work with a numeric field which otherwise would fail validation. We'll have to write a custom validation function and use a single line field instead.

I hope Toolset adds this to CRED forms in the future. It is readily available in other plugin(s) like Gravity Forms.

-- I think this is the best alternative way. Toolset Forms offers the hook to validate the form server side. You can use the Toolset Forms hook: cred_form_validate
