3. Check number-format support

Entry point: Review the current platform support before adjusting display formats

1. Open a multi-dimensional table that contains a number field.
2. Confirm that you are working on iOS.
3. Note that iOS does not provide direct display-format adjustment for the number field.

Success Criteria

• Next action available: You can keep entering data or switch to desktop for display-format changes.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: Looking for number-format settings on iOS and assuming the field is not working.

1. Make sure the number field already contains usable values.
