Numeric questions don't currently support commas instead of decimal points. If you'd like to see that implemented into a future release, please submit a feature request to us by using the link below:
thanks - I submitted it for SL and QM. Hope you can make it work for QM12
Additional to the decimal-mark issue, it would also be good to be flexible in the 'thousand-separator' issue. We use the dot as thousand-separator. As I've learned today from Wikipedia other countries use other 'digit group separator' and other conventions of grouping (2 or 4 digits). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_separator
What for? We have questions, where users should calculate and type in the result (eg. 123.456,78) Here QM and SL should be able to identify also (eg.) 123456,78 or 123 456,78 as a correct result.
Has there been any update on this? I'm building a course for Ecuador where participants would enter their daily expenses and then click a calculate button to add them up, and I know they use commas as digit separators there. Thanks in advance.
I've created a Manager's Cash Simulation and am trying to display numeric reference variables with thousands separators. For example, 17,233.00 versus 17233. I don't see how to do this. Am I missing something fundamental here?
Also, is there a simple way (or otherwise) to add the $ sign as needed? Such as $17,233 versus 17233.
I've seen a few different ways in which this was handled. This discussion goes the route of Javascript to ensure that decimals and commas are include and this other discussion has some ideas about creating it as a text reference, versus numeric which will keep the decimals and commas.
I've encountered the need to be able to type commas instead of decimal points in a numeric entry field. Does anyone know if it's even possible to acheive this with Javascript? For this interaction the end user needs to be able to type the comma as the course is being translated in to six languages that use commas instead of points.

Which experience do others have with this issue?

Hi Conor,
I don't have any updates to share at this time, but I have seen a few methods such as the one detailed here to allow commas instead of decimals.
