    You should be able to specify a regular expression to format fields.  By default number fields should ONLY take numbers however.

    Are you kidding me?  12 years this has been hanging around unfixed?

    I can't even comprehend how that's possible.

    Would like the ability to format numeric fields as well (especially to remove commas).  Seems pretty sinmply to have a format option when creating the data attribute and using that format on page layouts and reports, etc...

    ... but this is now a 12 year discussion - not holding my breath for a resolution any time soon...

    Yes we need this as well. We use the year as a cycle so 2018 is a cycle and 2019 is a cycle and we need this as a number field for sorting but the comma ruins everything. We cannot use a Date because it is not user friendly and a text lacks sorting functionality. It is annoying that we need two fields a text field for users and a formula number that mirrors the text for math but that is also flawed in some coding use cases.

    It says it is in 'Product Team Review' and they'll respond in '2-4 months'
    Conveniently for SF, it dosn't say when that process started - there's no indication in the comments as to when it changed to this status - although there is at least one  comment from 10 months ago saying it was in 'Product Team Review' back then - certainly more than 2-4 months!

    The ticket has been here for 11 years - what are the odds we'll come back here in another year, and it will still be in 'Product Team Review' with a promise that there will be a response in '2-4 months'?

    This is a fundermental requirement, the work arounds are a waste of extra fields when it should be possible on the number field you create.
