Currency field

[dev_K]

Hi All,

Can I change the values that are shown in the dropdown of the currency field?

By default the signs are show but once I have US dollar and Canadian dollar I would have '$' shown which would make it complicated to differ. It would be easier if the dropdown shows the codes instead of symbols. How to modify it?

Hi @dev_K 

What do you mean by "if I could change it so it shows codes". Can you help elaborate more on this point?

Currently the dropdown is populated with the values from SIGN column (like £, $ etc) I want it to show CODES (other column on currencies table) so I want to see in the dropdown: EUR, USD etc...

Hi @dev_K 

Yes I mentioned above that we can update the Symbol field in the Currency table. Then, it will reflect the currency code to the Currency field type.

I did a sample for USD as you can see from my screenshot above.

1. Update the Symbol to USD

2. Currency field type is reflected

I think you did not understand. I do not want to change the values on the table. I want to have codes displayed instead of symbols. It is because i do want to change only for those particular fields and I do not want to mess up data format throughout the platform.
