Add a Number block
Simply type
/number
to insert the Number block. Add a title or label block above the Number block or enter placeholder text by simply typing inside the block. Placeholder text makes it easier for respondents to see the expected input, such as quantity for an order or project budget.

- Percent
- Currency (US Dollar, Euro, or Pound)
- Custom

The
Custom
format lets you manually enter a prefix and/or suffix. This is useful for other currencies or measurements. For example:- Add "JP¥" as a prefix for Japanese yen input
- Use "°C" as a suffix for temperature input in Celsius
