Force value in data card default

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by walsh3hm 3

I am trying to create a form with a data card as an Amount in USD. How can I get the default value to read "$0.00" and have the user edit the value (without being able to delete the dollar sign $ and the decimal)?

    Set the default property to Text(Parent.Default,"[$-en-US]$#,###.00") and make sure the format is Number.  The user will only be able to enter a number but it won't show the "$" until the record is saved.  If you want to indicate the amount is in "$",  you can place "$" in a label outside the textinput box and set its visible property to: IsBlank(ThisItem.yourcurrencyfield)
