If I clearly understood you, you could set the text Format of the Text box to the Custom and set it to "000000".

Thank you.

in a text box in a writing sample 250 and pass that value to a label in my report but I need a length of 6 characters filled with zeros, well in my report, I must leave 000250

and what I find is like putting those zeros to get the textbox value

Did you set the Format property of the Text box?

Thank you.

Hi,

We try to do the following without success.
- put "0000.000" in custom text format property.

We have a number field and we would like to have 4 digits with leading 0 before the decimal
Our field disapears on the display.

What is the correct syntax of the custom property, is there another way to do it (with a toString method ?)

Is this feature available on flex version (2016.1.10) ?

Hello,

In flex version please try to use the following mask in the Format:
#0000.0000
