Add Commas to Long Numbers in Custom Fields/Forms

Description - When making custom fields and forms, the "currency" option formats the number with commas, e.g. $10,000.00.  Numbers should format the same way.  Currently, there is no way to make Workfront put commas in custom fields formatted as "numbers", which leads to confusion with large numbers.  Is is 1000000 or 10000000?  These would be easy at a glance if they were 1,000,000 and 10,000,000.  

 

Why is this feature important to you - Less confusion.  Easier for people to understand the number at a glance.  

 

How would you like the feature to work - If I chose to have a custom field formatted as a number, it should put standard commas in, the same way it does for currency.  

 

Current Behavior - Currently, the custom form just shows the digits with no separation.

It would be nice to have a format drop down so we could pick the formatting.  Some number fields may not want the commas, but I definately can see in the example you gave that it would be helpful.
