Hello,

First, make sure that your field is of type int.
Also please use the '0' char instead of '#':

"#" Digit placeholder - Replaces the pound sign with the corresponding digit if one is present; otherwise, no digit appears in the result string.
"0" Zero placeholder - Replaces the zero with the corresponding digit if one is present; otherwise, zero appears in the result string.

For example please use the following string as Custom text format:
Thank you.
