Description Päivi Knuutinen 2023-11-02 06:32:37 UTC
We use in Koha system preference "CurrencyFormat" but it is not working properly.
We use EU-type format with comma (,) separating euros from cents but still we have to input money with dot (.) for decimal. This is confusing.

Hi, CurrencyFormat currently only controls the display format. The input format is not configurable right now, but there are already other open bugs for that.
Comment 2 Katrin Fischer 2023-11-04 12:19:07 UTC
I was a little short here. The discussion on how to implement different input formats is a long one and we haven't come to a final conclusion/solution so far.

I recently wrote up bug 35241 after dicussion with some other devs and I believe it is the approach we should take. It has some of the older bugs linked.
