I have a problem with an expression field of the type decimal. I can't change the format. So the default decimal separator is a . (dot) Because we're in the Netherlands the customer wants a , (comma) as decimal separator.
But I'm not able to change it, also when creating a new field this isn't possible. As a (temporary?) work around I use a decimal field with the right display format and let a trigger fill this field. But that shouldn't be the way i guess..
I created a customer whose base language I set as Dutch. Now, I login as the customer, created an expression, the decimal format shows up right (i.e. no dots but a comma). see attached screenshot.
Am I missing something?
Hi Aede,
I have created defect with ID PSC00316820 in our bug tracking system for this issue.

Hi Yannick,
Please outline the steps for reproducing the issue. I presume the base language for the user was set to dutch.
-Thanks
Here are the steps to reproduce:
1- Create a regular "Decimal" field
> separator: , (comma)
>default value: 123,45
>integration name "decimalfield"
2- Create a formula field
> return type "decimal"
> return value: {!decimalfield#value}
Observe that the field reads "123.45" on the record View page
Setting the language to "Dutch" has no effect

Thanks Yannick and Manooj!
Hi Aede,
This issue has been addressed: Engineering has added separate column which will allow to chose the decimal separator. For rest of the types this column is disabled.
The changes are expected to be visible in Rollbase 3.1
