Write numbers in scientific notation

    When writing a number in scientific notation I can write for example 8.5e-18 and choose the “number” option in “number format”

    and this works without problem on desktop pc

    but when testing the calculator on a mobile phone having chosen “number” only the numeric keypad will be opened and I cannot write the “e” of the exponent

    This is solved by choosing “digits” and here if you open the full keyboard of the mobile phone, but you get the error “Please enter only digits” when putting the “e”

    How should I do to enter numbers in scientific notation and that it works on mobile phones without getting any errors?

    Thank you.

    Hello @mevabien22

    You should select the “Number” option as the “Format Number” attribute in the field’s settings.

    But if I select “number” on mobile phones, only the numeric keypad opens and the letter “e” cannot be entered to indicate the exponent.

    Hello @mevabien22

    Please, enter the comma symbol (,) into the attribute: “Symbol for grouping thousands”, this force the plugin use an input tag with type="text" instead the type="number"

    Best regards.
