Right-aligning number and currency fields

When dealing with numbers, it is often useful to right-align them. Until Orbeon Forms 2022.1, this was only doable with cumbersome custom CSS. Since Orbeon Forms 2022.1.1, we have made this much easier! The Control Settings for number and currency fields now shows a new “Field alignment” setting:

The result is that the fields with the “Right” setting are, well, right-aligned, which makes columns of numbers much easier to read:

The setting is, like all control settings, available also at the form level:

This also works for fields within a repeated grid, with the column heading automatically aligned as well:

We hope you will like this enhancement!
