Changing the number format

[dev_K]

Hi All,

Currently this is the format of displaying numbers in the platform: 

Is it possible to change it? I want to separate thousands by '.' and a comma to separate decimals so it should be '100.050,50'.

Thanks!

HI @dev_K

Hi @dev_K,

An important point to note, the currency is determined by the system locale property.

It is highly recommended not to change the system locale after currency values have been entered into the instance. When you change the system locale, the reference currency values are not adjusted. There is no rate conversion. This persistence results in invalid aggregations and filtering.

ServiceNow docs link to system local and currency settings:

Question: If this really was a must have requirement, you could possibly override the display value (display value only) on the portal for example, however, you would need to manage the underlying stored value if a field was editable to users and it's probably not recommended.

Hope that helps.
