Tell us what you are trying to do?
I want to add a Thousand Seperator to the price field using the "fields and text" shortcode.

Is there any documentation that you are following?
None

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I would like to know first, how exactly the price stored in backend and what shortcode or block you are using to display it.

Can you please share screenshots that should help me to review all those settings.

Thanks for the replay. I have used a custom post type to create a template for each vehicle. I created a custom field labeled as "Basic Info" to display information such as the description, featured image, gallery, price, mileage etc.

The price field is using the field type called "Number". I will share a screenshot for you.

To display the block I used the "Fields and Text" module provided by Toolset. Will provide more screenshots

Can you please share edit post screen screenshot where I can see the price field?

Also - please switch to HTML tab for "Fields and Text" block and send me screenshot.

I am sorry, can you please expand on "Can you please share edit post screen screenshot where I can see the price field?". I don't understand what you want to see?

I have changed the Fields and Text block to HTML (Please see screenshot). Here is also the code if you need it

<p>R[types field='price' format='FIELD_VALUE'][/types]</p>

Can you please try to add the following code to "Custom Code" section offered by Toolset:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/adding-custom-code/using-toolset-to-add-custom-code/#benefits-of-adding-custom-code-using-toolset

add_shortcode( 'show_price', 'func_thousands_separator_for_price');
function func_thousands_separator_for_price( $atts, $content ) {
if($atts['price']!=0 or $atts['price']!='') {
  $price_value = $atts['price'];
  
  return number_format($price_value, 0);
}else{ 
   return 0; 
}
}

And within your "Fields and Text" block you can call the above shortcode as given under:

R[show_price price='[types field='price' output='raw'][/types]']

Thanks for the code. I have added the PHP and the snippet but it does not want to save the change and also does not show it. I will send you screenshots

[Minesh]

Can you please try to uncheck the checkbox "WordPress admin" and then try to save the code snippet and then try to save the content template/post/page and check if you able to see it working on frontend.

Hi Minesh. Thank you so much. You are a superstar. I managed to make it work with the code that you supplied.

I only had to use the native shortcode module from Gutenberg.

Thanks again for the help.
