Number input field now text field

    Hi,

    My form has number fields and before today they had spinners (since they are numeric fields, not text fields.)

    Today though the spinners disappeared, and the generated HTML shows both pre-existing number fields and newly added number fields have type="text", hence the disappeared spinners:

    
<input type="text" name="number-9" value="0" placeholder="E.g. 10" id="forminator-field-number-9" class="forminator-input forminator-number--field" pattern="^\-?\d*([\.\,]\d+)?" inputmode="numeric" data-required="" aria-required="false" min="1" max="150" aria-invalid="true">

    Maybe this happened with the plugin updated today? If so, and unless I’m misunderstanding things, can you change them back to type="number"?

    Thanks,
    Kristian

    P.S.

    Both in the forminator GUI and when exporting the form the number fields are still “number”, see this part from the export:

    JSON
{"id":"number-1","element_id":"number-1","form_id":"wrapper-8718-4979","type":"number","options":[],"cols":4,"conditions":[],"wrapper_id":"wrapper-8718-4979","calculations":"true","limit_min":"0","limit_max":"150","field_label":"","placeholder":"E.g. 2","condition_action":"show","condition_rule":"all","default_value":"0","required":true}

    The HTML as mentioned is however type="text".

    Hello there @willshak

    I was able to replicate this in a testing site of mine as well and I’ve already pinged our Forminator team to provide some more insights about it. ??
    We’ll keep you posted here as soon as possible.

    Hey @willshak

    Thanks for reporting this. We’ll be reverting this change in the next release i.e. v1.14.1.

    Just to give you more details on what happened, we were working to add a new formatting option in the number field(and some others) where the numbers can be formatted like 9,999.00(or custom separators). And this feature would require the number field to be changed to a text field so these separators can be added. But, we ended up removing this feature from the 1.14 release because it wasn’t ready on time and we missed to revert the field type change when we were removing any changes we did for this new formatting feature in 1.14.0.

    Regards,
    Mukul CHawla
