How to bold a currency field in a table?

Hi Danny, hope you and your loved ones are safe and well with all that’s going on in the world.

Have you tried using a template field with HTML to bold the field?

To do this, add the template component into your table and select “Allow HTML.” Then style the field as desired e.g.

{{Current_Price__c}}
```
See Using Template Fields in the Table documentation for more information.

Thanks, Anna.  You too.

I did try the template field and there were a few issues. 

1. I need users to be able to edit the Current Price field - which I think you can’t do with template fields?
2. The styling did not take
3. The field reverted back to the default number of decimal places (6), and I only want to show two.  I am guessing I could format this with CSS, but I didn’t bother considering the first two issues.

Thanks for the quick reply, Danny.  

What version of Skuid are you using?

Spark 12.1.5

Hi Danny, here are a few thoughts.

1. The template field should be editable, you just double click and it will open a popup where you can edit the field.
2. In the model properties for your currency field, use "override field metadata" to change aspects of field's setup, e.g. how many decimals it should show. (see the screenshot)

I made a basic page demonstrating how to achieve this. Let me know if you have any questions or if this method doesn’t work for you.

Hi Anna,

Thanks for getting back to me. The suggestions for the ability to edit and format decimal places worked on the template field. Thanks! However, I still can’t seem to style the field to bold. Here is my template field:

Here is the XML for that field:

Thanks for your help!

Hi Danny, I think the

I tried the tag and it didn’t have an effect on the boldness. I just tried it again and can confirm that it’s not bolding the text. Would a Theme override the style for a given field?

Hi Danny, it’s possible it could be an issue with your theme. Try changing the page’s theme to a standard Skuid theme and see if the tag works as expected.

Additionally you can try:

• Updating out of date themes. (If you have out of date Themes, this option will show in the Themes list page).
• Upgrading to the most recent version of Skuid in Sandbox and see if the problem persists.
