Percentage in form field

P

Purplejopeg

I have created a form with form fields within a table, the form fields are
set up for percentages. However after I have saved it as a template then
opened up the new form, if I type in 96 I get 9600% instead of 96%, how can I
stop this from happening?

Hi Purplejopeg,

The simple way to deal with this is to enter the number with a preceding decimal point, or with a percentage symbol.

Cheers

It's for a form that will be going to complete strangers who wouldn't
necessarily know to do that.

I can't really see the point of the percentage option in the form field box.
