Mail merge issue

Question

Mail merge document has 4 decimal places when I click on the text box.  The value was moved from a spreadsheet.  Both documents have the format set to 2 decimal places.  Why is it showing 4 when I click on the textbox?

Answer 1

That's the way formatting works. It doesn't change the actual field value, just what gets displayed in the field. If you want to change the field value, you'd could use a custom validate script, e.g.,
// Round value to two decimal places
if (event.value) {
    event.value = util.printf("%.2f", event.value);
