Exponential in Numeric Widget

Exponential in Numeric Widget

Numeric Widget value flashes as the exponential value in the input box when adding a decimal value of more than 6 or 7. 
for example 0.000000001, it shows as 1e-8.

Issue: I want to only show the value instead of the exponential.

Hi there,

Since thingworx community is not responding, the only solution I have got is to use the constraint property to the Numeric Widget, with Minimum and Maximum values, something below the minimum and above the maximum is typed there will be an Pop-up showing up, saying out of range, which is again an UI Inconsistency, can't edit that Pop-up or disable it.

I think this is as per design and JS constraint- https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS276602. If feasible can you use another widget to display these long decimal values?

Hi @mnarang,

What will be the best widget to avoid this issue?

Thanks,

Hi @pshashipreetham.

 

One option would be to use a text widget.  If you would like to request a change in the current behavior, please feel free to post a request on the ThingWorx Ideas page.
