I am currently using Thingworx version 6.0 in which if i add a numeric entry widget it allows me to enter some special characters like Underscore( _ ) and Hyphen ( - ) i tried validations also it doesn't worked. I can understand hyphen is required to input negative numbers but what is the purpose of inserting an underscore in to an numeric entry?? Need more clarifications regarding this issue.

I would submit that as a bug in support.ptc.com

Underscores are used and recognized in some code and formats, but it looks like Thingworx just cuts off everything after an _

In the numeric entry widget underscore is allowed. Why this is happening?

The thread above is asking the same question and it appears that Java 8 allows for underscores to be included in numerical values, and that is why you are seeing those accepted in a numeric entry.
