I display a few foreign currencys on my summary page. The currency update extension sets the display to 16 places. I'd like to set the display to say 4 places on both the display and the 1/x display. I can edit the currency to four places but thats lost when the update runs.
The edit currency window shows 4 places but is grayed out,
I realize this is not a major issue but I would like a perminent 4 character display if there is a way to set it.
Thank you.

    As luck would have it. The ability to set a screen/display formatting decimal places is currently being tested in the latest batch of alpha releases. It’s there on securities and some screens/reports, and I understand that it’s just been added to currencies too. It will need to be enabled on the particular screen you are referring to.

    Can you send a screenshot of the place where you are seeing the loooong currency rates displayed when this can be enabled?

    (Note the decimals setting you are referring to is for the quantity of the unit being held not the price/rate, hence the need for a new optional setting)

    That’s a SS of the settings page. Can you send one that shows the long rates being displayed (that you want to truncate)? I’m trying to understand which Home Screen widget, or report, or extension you are referring to that shows the long decimals?

    This is directly from the Summary screen.

    Thank you.

    FYI - I understand that the exchange rate summary screen widget has now been updated in the latest alpha to obey the new decimals setting.
