Hi Team,

We have one text fields where we enter readings with units.
In the next field we need we need have only readings without units.

Please find the below screenshot as reference.

Hint: Why not separate into 2 entry fields?

  • integer type field for amount
  • select_one type field for unit.

Possible (volt) units are defined by international standard.


| Unit ----------- | Decimal ------------|
| μV (Mikrovolt)   | 0,000 001 Volt
| mV (Millivolt)   | 0,001 Volt
| V (Volt)         | 1 Volt
| kV (Kilovolt)    | 1 000 Volt
| MV (Megavolt)    | 1 000 000 Volt
| GV (Gigavolt)    | 1 000 000 000 Volt

This separated field design would allow much better data consistency control.
At the moment, a user may enter invalid text in your field, e.g. “high, solar-sourced”.
