I am curious why #8589 Add a real/integer number ‘format’ attribute to EditTextWidget is flagged as a new feature but #4230 Add min, max, step, value attribute for numbers to the EditTextWidget is closed and marked as “not planned” when the two feature requests are similar in nature and ostensibly the latter is easier to implement.
See this comment [IDEA] add a 'format' attribute to EditTextWidget (and maybe others) · Issue #8589 · TiddlyWiki/TiddlyWiki5 · GitHub – Which contains the description of something we do not have at the moment. So it is a “newfeature”
The label “newfeature” means it describes something new. It does not say it will be implemented that way. It’s an idea / a feature request atm.
If would need an “actionable” flag, to be considered to be a request for a PR.
The linked comment basically rejects the OP. Add HTML5 attributes support to the EditText widget · Issue #4230 · TiddlyWiki/TiddlyWiki5 · GitHub
The input element has 22 or more different usecases, which are significantly different. We do not want them to be configured in one “monster” widget.
We currently have different widgets, that should do 1 thing well. That’s much easier to understand, use and maintain that way.
