Number formatting issue: numberDecimalSeparator and numberGroupingSeparator not applied for bigDecimalField

Support
#1

Hi everyone,

I’ve run into an issue with number formatting in Jmix and would like to know if anyone has faced (and solved) something similar.

In my message.properties, I’ve set the following:

numberDecimalSeparator=,
numberGroupingSeparator=\

Observed behavior:

  • When I use a textField bound to a numeric property, the formatting works as expected — decimal and grouping separators are applied correctly based on the configuration above.
  • However, when I use a bigDecimalField for the same type of data (e.g., a BigDecimal entity attribute), the formatting is not applied.

My questions:

  1. If not, how can I make bigDecimalField respect the numberDecimalSeparator and numberGroupingSeparator settings from message.properties?
  2. Is there a configuration or formatter binding I need to apply manually for bigDecimalField?

Any advice or code examples would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @phamanhvu20031411

Did you check the properties of the BigDecimal Field ?

Perhaps you did define here something different ?

Hi @f.zehnder
I’m currently keeping the default Jmix settings

If I’ve already defined the decimal and grouping separators in message.properties, do I still need to explicitly set them again in the field’s properties?

Hi @phamanhvu20031411

Could you solve the problem or should I attach you a small project ?

Hi @phamanhvu20031411

Attached you find a very small sample with just one entity where you can enter a bigdecimal and it will be formatted to your wishes based on messages_en.properties.

I added a second language ( German ) so you can test, how the same data gets formatted different based on the selected login language.

Let me know, if this solves your problem :wink:

Best regards
Felix
