I could swear there was a slider for inputting numeric values, but I can find it. All I could find was a feature request from a couple of years back asking for one.

What are others using for numeric inputs? I’ve a couple of % fields for things like task progress that get updated a lot. Is it just keyboard entry or has anyone come up with a better way?

We never got that.

You can try doing something like what I did in one of my future template I’m gonna add in template store, using buttons to complement with the **number entry** component

If it’s a finite list of numbers, and not too long, you could use a choice component.

It’s a percentage. I could use 5% increments in a choice component, but it still feels clunky. I’m going to stick with keyboard input for now I think.
