I have a number field where if I enter a value with a comma (example: 12,5) it gives me an error to insert a valid numeric value. if I enter the number with the dot (ex. 12.5) it returns me as correct.
for my needs I need to insert the value with a comma, see screenshot

many thanks

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

There is no way to allow comma to numeric/number field.

If you really want to allow comma to your number field then the workaround I should suggest is covert your existing number field to a single-line text field that will allow you to add both number and comma - this is the only workaround I think of.

You can use the Form's API hooks like "cred_form_validate" to validate the field to check it has only numbers and comma:

OR
you can use the "cred_before_save_data" and remove the unwanted characters before it gets saved.
