  • decimalPlaces (number) - Currency fixed number of decimal places to use (note: since this could be also defined in /Cmf/Guis/Configuration/CurrencyFormat/DecimalPlaces/ that config has precedence over the one in config.json; if non defined, defaults to the current culture currency decimal places)
• number - Overrides to format any numeric values.
  • decimalPlaces (number) - Maximum number of decimal places that a number can display (currency numeric values not affected) (defaults to current culture decimal places if not defined)
  • thousandSeparator (string) - String to separate thousand groupings. (defaults to current culture separator if not defined)
  • decimalSeparator (string) - String to separate the decimal part in a number (defaults to current culture separator if not defined)
• datetime - Overrides the formatting of date and time values.
