Power App Issue - Numeric text input does not allow decimal places on mobile

[Adderus]

The canvas app works perfectly fine on desktop, but for some reason when entering the delimiter for a decimal, on mobile,  it gets removed immediately as if it is seen as a alphabetical letter. This is only for the period "."

The comma doesn't register when pressed. 

Example: 

Create a simple canvas app with a text input.
Set the input format to contain Numerical values.

Now when running the app on desktop I can see that I am able to enter decimal values.

Confirming this, save and publish the test app and reopen it, but on your mobile device.

When doing this and clicking on the input box, it opens the mobile keyboard which only allows you to enter numbers. 
Try to enter a number with decimal places. The keyboard displays a ',' and '.' of which only the '.' seems to respond, but is removed automatically after being pressed. The ',' on the other hand doesn't respond.

I hope I supplied sufficient information for you to recreate the problem.

The comma would not be needed on a numeric input, except for formating, at least in the US. What type of number is the list expecting? If it is an integer, it would ignore the "."

Thank you for your speedy reply. 
The input field is supposed to take a currency value, so a double or float with 2 decimals is needed. ex: $45.99, excluding the '$'. This is for a expense capturing system.

This is not a behavior I have seen. When the number is pushed to the list it does not contain any decimal?

[Adderus]

Hey Brian thank you for your reply again.

When opening the app on a computer you are able to enter the decimals and it works fine(It pulls through to the list perfectly), but on mobile it doesn't allow you to enter decimal values. I am not able to use the '.' delimiter to specify the decimals. It only allows whole numbers.

I would actually try adding a new screen and putting that control on that screen. Add just enough to the screen to make that work. Try that on mobile. If it works then you may just need to recreate the screen. I have seen apps where things get sideways and that is the only solution.

Hey Brian,

I have solved the problem. The issue is the language setting of the keyboard. It seems PowerApps only caters for a US keyboard instead of of the one I was using.

Would it be safe to say that this feature be added, instead of me asking hundreds of people in the organization to change their keyboard settings on their phones? How do I recommend this feature to Microsoft?

If you look under "Community" at the top of this page there is a place to submit ideas to the dev team. That does seem like an issue that needs to be looked at.

Is there already a real solution to this problem?
