Recently, I came across a question where the questioner asked about adding a currency field on the record producer.
I had a similar use case in the past where I needed to show an amount field with currency sign attached to it on a record producer.
After exploring the variable types available for the catalog items, I reached to a conclusion that most of them were not a direct fit for showing currency data.
The only option left was to check on the widget side, and here I stumbled up on an OOTB widget Variable Currency which actually does the same job.
This widget shows the currency sign (based on the logged in users locale) along with the single line text field to capture the amount.
It also has a validation in place which lets use enter number only.
Following are the steps I used to configure the this widget on my Record Producer.
1. On your record producer, Variable should be of type Custom with Label. In Widget select Variable Currency
The end result looks like following.
The currency is shown according to user locale. It shows symbols for $ and Euro.
Hope this helps.
