I have a multi-value Number field that uses a comma or semicolon for a separator when entering and a semicolon as the separator for displaying. The number field is set as a decimal with 0 fixed decimal places. When I enter a 1 or 2 digit number separated by commas, they are correctly separated by a semicolon for displaying. However, when I enter a number of 3 digits or more separated by a comma, they are displayed as one number with no separator.

For example, if I enter 22,33 this displays as 22; 33. But if I enter 66002,66004 this displays as 6600266004.

I think it's doing this because it thinks the comma entered is a thousands separator and not a multi-value separator. The issue is that this did not work this way in previous versions.

To make this work, I will need to remove the option to use a comma as a separator since this is not working correctly with a number field. Does anyone know why this now works this way?
