Hello,

I have a number property and there is large gap between “$” symbol and value. But I need the gap to be reduced

Hi @Rakesh Chilukuri

you can modify the changes in Presentation tab of that property in section.

what is the control for that propety you have given?

Is it currency or integer or Number?

 ![Property control Number.png](https://pega1.discourse-cdn.com/pega/original/2X/0/075364c6c782fc5f50c35cf0cba377fb8c5ea1a3.png)

Thanks

@Rakesh Chilukuri

Is the $ sign hardcoded on the field? Then you need to make the number left-aligned from the presentation tab. Otherwise append is directly on the property value instead for setting on the field.

@SohamM95

Hi, I have tried edit input rule I am doing prepend $ value to the property, and I am able to get the expected output but it’s throwing an error

What I understood is that the $ value is of string and the property is of type decimal

@Rakesh Chilukuri

If the property type is not Text then it won’t be possible like this. You need to change the alignment in the presentation tab to handle it.

@Rakesh Chilukuri

can you please tell me about control ?  
which control are you using ?  
please try to change the “ **number** ” to “ **currency** ” inside the configuration on UI.

Property might remain as number in backend just change while putting it on the layout.
