this must be an FAQ, but I cannot find it…can you format input “number entry” cells containing simple numbers? (bold, heading), I can only seem to format output results? I thought perhaps I could add a text entry, format that and link/convert it to a plain txt number? thanks

If you’re talking about data entry components then that’s a no. Can we know more about your use case?
