App Studio - % Style Rounds to Whole Number

How can I get App Studio to display a UD Interest Rate Field as 5.375%? This is my first Kinetic App Studio Attempt - am I missing something?

I set the mask as >9.99, and the style as %, but it’s always rounding the number up to the nearest whole. I enter .059 and it displays 6%.

I’d love to be able to enter 5.9 directly for the percentage, but Epicor seems to want .059.

I originally set up the UD field with 3 decimals, thinking the 5.375% would be 9.999, but Kinetic’s % format style expects the number to be entered as a decimal (e.g. .05375).

I updated the UD Field and regenerated the data model. Still displays as a whole number, so I changed the minimum integer digits - that just bumps up the whole integers shown.

Changed the mask to >.99999, which seems to only affect the data entry display, not the % when you mouse off…

Deleting the 3 in the mimimum integer digits format at least gets ot back to showing 5% instead of 005%.

Is this another Kineticism, and I should give up? I’m on the latest 2023.2.9 in our test environment, for what it’s worth.

Just created an EpiCare Case, if anyone else has this same issue:

EpiCare accepted it as a bug on PRB0277384, so now I can stop trying to make it work!

Hi Andris. I’m having same issue. Since your post is from 2024, would you be able to fix it? I need to display the number as %. Is there any specific mask to make this change?

I can’t speak to various Kinetic versions and functionality…

But in current 2025.1, I can get a numeric box to display with decimal places with the below settings:

Numeric Box > Advanced > Format:

In the example image below… my BAQ was already converting to percent by multiplying by 100. That’s why the resulting value is huge:

Daniel,
We accepted the limitation in 2024.2. We’re spinning up a 2025.1 environment as we speak, and I’m curious to see if that’s been improved.

Nice! please keep me posted if you don’t mind to see if that come out in 2025.1 We are evaluating to migrate first 62 customizations in classic to kinetic, before upgrade to 2025 version. Thanks for your heads up.
