    format numbers while entering data (text field, grid column)

    While entering is not possible, because APEX doesn't know what the number is going to be. When you type 200 it doesn't know that you want a comma next, because you are going to enter 3 more zeroes.

    APEX already formats the number item when you leave the item (since release <something>).

    @ino.laurensse Please refer to this plugin https://apex.world/ords/f?p=100:710:::::P710_PLG_ID:si_trts_autonumeric , this is really necessary for an application specializing in finance with large numbers

    Ah, I see what you mean. We use this for DATE items. While typing 06072024 it is automatically converted to 06-07-2024. So, this idea can be generalized for any formatted item.
