OnChange not applying on Same Value Input

Whenever I input any number at all it automatically converts it to decimal place but every time I input the same number it doesn't convert to decimal place. It's like it recognizes it as exactly the same value with the previous input when repeating the number so it doesn't perform the OnChange. Any ideas or is there a function to accomplish this task? Thank you very much in advance!

OnChange Property:

Set(
 varNonTaxBasicSalary, 
 Text(
 Value(
 dcBasicSalary.Text,
 "en-US" 
 ),
 varNoFormat
 )
 )

OnStart:

Set(varNoFormat, "[$-en-US]###,###.00")

Hello @Revlock97 ,

"OnChange()" indeed triggers only if the text input detects a different value.

If you give him the same value, it won't detect any change.

@WiZey Thank you for the response.
Is there any possible work around on this?

Sure. Could you further elaborate on your objective? I don't get why it is an issue if the "OnChange" is not triggered if you give him the same value.

If you absolutely need the "OnChange", then the text input must detect a difference. One way to force it is to reset the text input after the change is done to make it blank again, that way your variable will save the input and your user can re-enter a new value even if it is the same as before.

@WiZey Although It's just a minor issue because if doesn't detect a change, the number inputted would not be converted to decimal form. I just want it to be converted to decimal no matter what

For example below I only inputted "2" so it turned into 2.00
But when I clear it and input "2" again it doesn't detect a change so the value doesn't turn into decimal form now
I'm still a novice at best with this and don't know a good work around.

I quickly tried something similar on my side.

I have a text input with the following properties:

When I fill in "5", it changes the text input into "5,00".

I tried re-writing "5" and it re-changed to "5,00".

I guess the "Reset(Self)" plays a big role in allowing the user to re-enter the same value again and again.
