    Field format Percentage

    How to set a form field to display percentage number entry as "50%" or "50.50%" automatically. If The decimal is zero (0), then display as 50% and if the decimal is 50.50 then display as 50.50%. Thanks in advance for help. Gopans

    Neither process makes sense. Please describe why displaying 50% when the value is 0 and 50.50% when the value is 50.50 is valid.

    Why don't you display as 50.0% and 50.5%? Why different number of decimal places?

    Looks better to have all values show the same number of decimal places, all aligned on the decimal point. Easier to read.
