I am having a problem with a typeahead element that is used to select values from an integer column in my database. For the display format of the typeahead field, I have used “#” (without the quotes obviously). This makes it so numbers larger than 3 digits do NOT have a comma when shown in the field. So the number “5,749” would show up as “5749”. That is how I want it. However, the typeahead always wants to show the numbers with commas when they are shown in the dropdown list of suggestions. This is a problem because if the user selects one of the numbers from the typeahead suggestions list, that number will be entered into the field with the comma. If you enter a number into that field and it has a comma, it is instantly reverted back to the field’s old value (because the format is not valid I figure). So basically, there is no way to select anything in my typeahead.
So I tried putting “#” in the edit format too. I figured if the display format matched the edit format, that would fix it. Nope. The typeahead continues to display the commas. The only way I can make my typeahead actually accept data is to remove my “#” format and just accept the commas. If I do that, it works ok. I don’t want commas!!
Is this a bug? Am I doing something incorrect?
