Can we have "Currency" as relation type?

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND

At the moment, only “number” (#) is a possible relation type for numeric values. It has its flaws as you cannot choose the number of significant digits to show (e.g. 81.15 appears as 81.15, 81.10 as 81.1 and 80.00 as 80) and there is no option to add a currency symbol. I use my databases for accounting (tracking invoices, expenses etc.) and this would be an extremely useful feature.

HOW COULD IT BE DONE

Allow the user to modify the format the “number” is displayed, including choosing the number of significant figures and adding a currency symbol.

REAL WORLD USE CASES

This would be very useful for people like me who use Anytype for business purposes and track personal and professional expenses, invoices and so on. It seems like it shouldn’t be so complicated to implement either.

RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVES

I currently just use the number relation as it can be used and it is very limiting.

Very good idea :grinning:

But the currency is not only the symbol.

The location (right or left): $17 / 17€ / £17 / 17Ft
The separators : $5.123,90 / 5 123,17€
Some country don’t have cents.
