Hi @Kal Happy Friday! In the number question, it isn’t possible to change the format of the number. Though, if you’re recalling the variable later, you could add the currency symbol before the recalled variable like this: 

Would that work for you?

Why don’t we have a number format in typeform?

Hi Liz,

so we can not change 100.00 to 100,00?

That would be a shame, why rule out a number format so common among most countries in Europe? 

Thanks

Michael

@Liz is this still not possible? Is there a way to use custom code to do it? Not being able to format the number is a huge problem for me.

Hi @danzaharia I’m afraid not, and since we don’t feature an option to add custom code to the forms, there wouldn’t be any workarounds at this time. Though, keep sharing your feature requests here so I can pass them to the product team!

This is ridiculous to have the ability to choose a currency format. We are mortgage company too and we want to collect monetary values in the form and then pass it to salesforce. So we can’t use currency format, but when we use number format in the form it won’t pass the data to the currency field in salesforce, even though the input of that field is just a number. So the integration seems poorly built too. 

 

Maybe I am missing something here, but how do I collect currency field data and pass them to salesforce?

Hi @Jesse Neo You could try mapping the field to a custom object field in Salesforce like this.

@Liz I’m unsure how mapping to a custom object would help me? The data needs to land on the Lead object (which is a standard object) in salesforce, in currency format.

Hi @Jesse Neo Since our native integration doesn’t map with that field, a custom object mapping might be able to help solve this. You can also contact our tech team here for a bit more information on setting this up. 😀
