# collect mobile does not accept numbers > 3 digits

Asked by janklein on 2023-03-28

Dear OF team,

When entering a number with more than three into a simple integer field (no calculation, no dependencies), OpenForis mobile displays an orange triangle in the upper right corner of the screen. When returning to the field, the last digits had been deleted and a three digit number remains.

The field worked perfectly fine before. I have not changed anything since, neither the survey nor OF version or the phone language settings.

Also, the field works fine with >3 digit numbers in the collect preview mode.

What could be the problem here?

Thanks in advance,
Jan

Dear Jan,  
Please update Collect Mobile to the latest version (1.7.9 build 208). The previous version, 207, has a bug in the formatting of numeric fields that prevented a proper storage of the value.  
Many thanks!
