Question about objects custom field data type

 

Hi

I created a custom object with a data type number.

 

When I input data into this field it adds comas when you review.

I can't use the text type because I only want numbers.

 

Thanks, Just getting going on things, after 23 years of basic top down programming this is fun.

Hi,

You can add validation rules like 'ISNUMBER()' to text field so that the field accept only numbers.

Thank you for your help.

I changed the data type to text and used a validation rule and it worked.

I also learned about validation rules. Very impressive.
