Description

Pasting a decimal into an integer-only field could display 2 while storing 2.345, causing totals to include hidden decimals. Pasted values now respect the field's configured decimal precision before they are saved.

The existing separator workaround is retained. The regression covers comma and dot decimals at scales zero and two, including persistence after reload, using existing test-app fields.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Pasting values into numeric fields now correctly interprets decimal and grouping separators, including configured alternate separators and common grouped-number formats.
    • Pasted values respect the field’s configured decimal precision, and the resulting values remain consistent after the field loses focus or the page is reloaded.

Pasted decimals bypassed numeric formatting and were stored even when
decimalScale hid them. Apply the configured formatter before saving the
value while preserving the existing decimal separator workaround.
Exercise comma and dot decimals with scales zero and two using the
existing decimal-bound fields. Compare the formatted and raw values and
verify persistence after reload without changing the test app.

📝 Walkthrough

Numeric paste handling now parses pasted text using the input’s separator configuration and numeric format before saving it. Tests cover decimal precision, grouping separators, and value persistence after reload.

Changes: Numeric paste handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Parse pasted numbers
src/layout/Input/number-format-helpers.ts, src/layout/Input/number-format-helpers.test.ts
The new helper handles configured grouping and decimal separators, formats the pasted value, and removes numeric-format characters. Unit tests cover separator combinations and precision.
Wire paste handling and verify persistence
src/layout/Input/InputComponent.tsx, test/e2e/integration/frontend-test/components.ts
Numeric input paste handling saves the helper’s result. End-to-end tests check precision, separator behavior, stored values, and persistence after reload.

Pasted numbers now respect the field's decimal precision and grouping separators. One ambiguous case remains. A whole number with a single thousands separator, such as 1.234 in a Norwegian-format field, is read as a decimal. It is then truncated, for example to 1.23. Agree on the intended rule and add a test for it. The change is otherwise ready to merge.

Strip the configured thousands separator before normalizing the decimal
separator and applying numeric precision. Otherwise a grouped value such as
1,234.567 is interpreted as 1.234.567 and truncated to 1.23.

Handle the boolean thousands-separator shorthand as comma grouping.

Move the numeric paste conversion into a pure helper accepting the pasted
text and number format. Keep the existing behavior so the parser can be
tested independently of the component.
Unconditionally stripping grouping separators turns 2.5 into 25 with dot
grouping, and 2,5 into 25 with boolean comma grouping. Preserve the prior
decimal interpretation when the pasted text contains a lone comma or dot.

Remove grouping when the configured decimal separator is present, grouping
is repeated, or a different grouping character is used. Apply precision
after normalization so grouped decimal values retain their magnitude.
Cover both alternate decimal regressions, precision, and grouping in the
extracted parser. Verify formatted values and persistence after reload in
Cypress using existing numeric fields, without changing the test app.

existing decimal-bound fields. Compare the formatted and raw values and
verify persistence after reload without changing the test app.
