Remove zero from Numeric Entry field
I'm experiencing something similar. I have a numeric input field, titled "capture savings" and, separately, I have a number variable named "savings". The trigger on "capture savings" is:
When capture savings loses focus
- Set savings equal to the typed value
When previewing, there is a leading zero in "capture savings," which you manually have to backspace to get rid of. I have several other similarly set up capture fields with corresponding variables on the same slide. Am I going to have to jump through hoops to deal with this? It sounds like this has been an issue 5+ years now...
Hi zamond. I wonder if the issue is simpler than people think, and may accidentally betray people's misunderstanding of an otherwise rational system. It's not really my vehicle's fault if it doesn't drive a way it wasn't designed to, but rather my "issue" in that example comes from my misaligned expectations.
What is the default value of the capture savings variable? Because if its default is the zero it was created with, the standard for numerical variables, then that's what shows when I load the slide each time. Maybe you can share a project file?
