Formatting of form fields

[jotess]

I'm just making up my first form and I'm experiencing a few problems .

1. I formatted one text field and wanted to copy all these properties to the other fields, e.g. size, background colour, font, font colour, ... I did this via "Make Current Properties Default" and "Apply Default Properties". But only some properties get copied: Font colour and background colour are copied. Border width is not.
2. I want all fields to use the number format 1.234,56 with no currency symbol. When you select category "Number", initially the $ sign is selected. I was able to change $ to €, but I don't manage to switch the symbol off for some fields. I can select any symbol and it is displayed correctly, but when I select "None", the previously selected symbol stays. There seems to be no difference if it's a single or multiple selection.

No. 1 is maybe a feature request. Or I haven't found the tool yet. Anyway the problem is solved for the moment by doing it al by hand.
No. 2 is still not solved. I want to get rid of the currency symbol. What can I do?

No. 2 seems solved by a weird workaround. This seems to be a bug.
What I did is:

1. Enter a number like 123,45. This was displayed as 123,45 € after I set the category to "Number".
2. Enter another digit after the last one. This was not displayed (correctly) because of the chosen number format. But the €-sign stayed.
3. Hit Ctrl+Z to revert this addition of the digit. ->€-sign is gone!

In another try to repeat this it seemed to react a little different. In step 2 already the €-sign disappeared.
Magic!

Hello, jotess

You first item, with the make default function is a known bug, the Dev team is already working on a solution for that, sorry for the difficulty in the meantime.

As for the number format. While it is normally expected to see an immediate change, that is not always the case.
The "Format Value" function is something that can sometimes be applied after a change is made to the field (which is why you see it work as you "undo" or modify the contents). This typically happens with fields that have value calculation, instead of an actual static value. After making changes to these values, you simply need to switch back to the hand tool, and make changes to the form (either in that particular field, or in a connected field which is used for value calculations) for the new value formatting to be applied to it.

If that still does not work, Please confirm that you have the current latest release installed. The current release is 9.5.366.0, you can check yours via "help > about" within the Editor.

Kind regards,
