Dollar ($) and Percentage (%) Symbols Not Displayed for Read-Only Fields in Field Group - Pega 25.1.3

User Experience

I have configured a Field Group to display Premium and Rate fields in read-only mode. For the Premium fields, I configured the read-only formatting as follows:

  • Format: Currency
  • ISO Code Selection: Constant
  • Currency ISO Code: USD
  • Currency Display: Auto/Code/Name

However, the application displays only the numeric value and does not show the dollar ($) symbol.

I have also observed a similar issue with percentage fields, where the percentage (%) symbol is not displayed for decimal values configured with percentage formatting.

We are currently using Pega Platform 25.1.3.

Has anyone encountered this issue when displaying currency values within a Field Group in read-only mode? If so, could you please share the root cause and the resolution or workaround that was implemented?

Thank you in advance for your help.

In the Field Group configuration, switch the read-only cell display from using the built-in Currency/Percentage format to a Text control with a custom expression that formats the value manually — for example, use @FormatCurrency(.PremiumField, "USD") for currency or append “%” to the decimal value using a calculated expression. This bypasses the read-only rendering bug in Pega 25.1.3 where the Field Group cell ignores the symbol settings, and the symbol will display correctly without any platform-level fix needed.
