1. Access a job application
2. Edit the application and enter this value to a Currency field (e.g. 100,000)
3. Save changes
4. Error message received: "Invalid number"

When configuring fields with type="currency" in a template, the standard field id="currency" must be defined in the template as well. This allows selecting which currency format the system will use.

This is important as each currency has its own decimal and thousands separators.

Great Britain and the United States are two of the few places in the world that use a period to indicate the decimal place. Many other countries use a comma instead. The decimal separator is also called the radix character.

Likewise, while the U.K. and U.S. use a comma to separate groups of thousands, many other countries use a period instead. Some countries separate thousands groups with a thin space.

Make sure the below field id="currency" is also configured in the template where the error message is displayed and that a valid currency is set so that system can recognize which separator should be used for the values entered in that are type="currency" .

Example Only:

<field-definition id="currency" type="enum" required="false" custom="false">
   <field-label mime-type="text-plain"><![CDATA[Currency]]></field-label>
   <enum-value value="EUR">
      <enum-label><![CDATA[EUR]]></enum-label>
   </enum-value>
   <enum-value value="GBP">
      <enum-label><![CDATA[GBP]]></enum-label>
   </enum-value>
   <enum-value value="USD">
      <enum-label><![CDATA[USD]]></enum-label>
   </enum-value>
   <default-value>USD</default-value>
</field-definition>
