Understand how currency fields behave in Bob and what you can (and can’t) customize when it comes to formatting.
Currency fields in Bob come with built-in formatting, so they automatically display values with comma separators and decimal places (for example, 50,000.00). This helps keep financial data consistent across the platform.
If you’re trying to adjust how these values appear, here’s what to keep in mind:
Currency fields will always include decimal places by design
They also automatically apply proper formatting, like thousand separators
If your goal is to avoid decimal places entirely, there isn’t a way to change this within a currency field. Instead, you have a couple of workarounds depending on your needs:
Use a Currency field when you want standardized formatting (recommended for most cases)
Use a Text field if you need full control over how the value appears (for example, displaying 50,000 without decimals). Keep in mind this removes numeric validation and consistency
In most cases, the Currency field type is the best option, as it ensures clean, professional formatting without requiring manual input.
