Number datafields don’t follow the styling of numbers in the body text.
_7_ hours will result in
seven (7) hours
#concept^number-datafield will result in
7 hours
with the same styling settings.
Is it intended to work like this?
Yes. The underlying idea is that, even if you have activated the styling setting of both digits & letters, you will typically not want to have each and every number in a document to be styled like that — there will always be numbers that should simply be shown in digits.
If you want to force-apply that styling to number-datafields, then you have to use @dynamic-fullnr.
See Locale styling – Help, which explains that the styling setting actually only affects:
- duration type datafields
- number, floating point number and currency type datafields included in the dynamic full number function
- numbers surrounded by underscores (e.g.
_5_) in the clause text
Thank you Maarten, makes sense, indeed!
