Hi @mark and the rest of the Glide Team! Any chance, we can get the unit that we specified for a number column to appear on the number entry component linked to that column? When users are entering various numbers with different units, context is lost. For example, in both the number entry field and the Maximum/Minimum warning underneath, displaying a “$” would make all the difference: ![Screen Shot 2020-08-28 at 12.09.30 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/3/332930290db23046e729644b341a19471115959b.png) ![Screen Shot 2020-08-28 at 12.13.48 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/7/7b98c29f17773002e257428101c5403b147d5c07.png) ---

A quick work-around for more info would be to add this to the hint text, but I agree, it would make even more sense to add the unit to the field itself. ---

Are we anywhere near to getting the unit symbol displayed and also can we have the ability to have the “Title” text in black or another defined colour - the gray text is not very clear… ![Screenshot 2021-03-29 at 12.26.58](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/e/0/e0bea257100940021a25fa05b7c0854c308a0177.png) ---

Hi Is this going to be addressed at any time - it is quite a problem on some of my apps as we are asking to enter a mixture of different types of info - €, £, % etc and although I have entered the symbol in the units box it does not display in the app Thanks Loving Glide… ---
