How do I get the app to open focus on a full numeric keyboard for entering numbers?

Typically you use a number entry component if you want the numeric keyboard to show up, but it also will depend on your OS, browser, and the keyboard app you have installed on the device.

Hi Jeff
I am using a number entry comp.
My phone is on iOS 26.2 and I have downloaded the app to it.
All my phone settings are standard but I am still getting an Alphanumeric keyboard on the number entry fields.

I think it’s because of the fact you can probably type “E” (scientific notation) into the number entry. Can you verify if you can type “E”?

I’m struggling with this. I have number column, number component but on iPhone, it does not trigger the numeric keyboard. It’s a bummer because since I have my app with the sign-in enabled, I see that when I enter the code, it does trigger the numeric pad. I noticed the html for that field, uses type=“tel” pattern=“[0-9]\*” . So Glide enabled that for that field, but not for fields we add in the app. What am I missing?

I think it’s worth submitting a ticket from your builder environment (bottom right icon) to see what they have to say about this. It’s been a longstanding concern for the community.
