Overview
Filla supports three numeric field types that map directly to their Airtable counterparts:| Airtable field type | Form input | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Number | Numeric input | Quantities, counts, scores |
| Currency | Numeric input with currency symbol | Prices, budgets, costs |
| Percent | Numeric input with percent sign | Rates, completion percentages, discounts |
Settings reference
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Placeholder text | Hint text shown when the field is empty. Supports @ variable references. |
| Default value | Number pre-filled when the form loads. |
| Minimum value | The smallest value the respondent can enter. Shows an error if the value is below this. |
| Maximum value | The largest value the respondent can enter. Shows an error if the value exceeds this. |
Using min and max values
Min and max values enforce numeric range constraints. The form validates on blur and again on submission. Example uses:- A “Quantity” field with Minimum value of 1 and Maximum value of 100 prevents respondents from entering 0 or 500
- A “Rating” field with Minimum value of 1 and Maximum value of 10 keeps scores in range
- A “Discount percent” field with Maximum value of 100 prevents impossible discounts
Currency and percent display
The currency symbol and percent sign are inherited from your Airtable field configuration. Filla reads them from the field’s settings in your base. You configure the symbol and format in Airtable, not in Filla.Common questions

Can I use a formula for the default value?
Can I use a formula for the default value?

@ variable references to other form fields, not Airtable formulas. You can reference a previous field’s value to pre-fill a calculation-style default.What happens if the respondent enters text in a number field?
What happens if the respondent enters text in a number field?
The field only accepts numeric input. Non-numeric characters are rejected immediately. The respondent cannot type letters or symbols in a number field.
