Is there a way to add separator like “.” to Number Entry, so the displayed value will be “1.000.000” not "1000000.

No easy way to customize the existing number entry component. Might be worth trying to create a custom component to fit your requirements.

I did try this for an app, it works, but requires an insane amount of effort to format it only on the frontend (so it displays 1.000.000 or 1,000,000) and still consider that as 1 million on the backend.

It recognizes the number as 1 when writing back to my field a lot of times.
