To change the formatting of numeric and date fields, you
can change the formatting of data entry and data display fields
from the Asset Composer configuration.
Data Edit FormatThe Data Edit Format defines the format in which data is
stored. The value of numeric and date fields specified by the user
in Manage assets user interface should be in data edit format.
The Data Edit Format is used when:
Non-string data is captured and stored as string.
When consuming such data, it has to be converted to the data type
of that data. Say you are capturing a default or literal value for
a place holder in the data editing view of a letter. The value entered
is captured as string and formatted as per the edit format from
the user interface even if the type of data is date or numeric.
Data is written to Xml for transferring to another system or for use in case of Letter Reload.
When writing a date or number to Xml, it is formatted as per Edit
Format to generate the string representation. So the Xml submitted
from the Create Correspondence application would contain all the
data in Edit Format for field values and variable values. The numeric
and date values specified in Sample Data, corresponding to the
Data Dictionary in a letter should be formatted as per the Edit
format.
Data Display FormatThe Data Display Format defines the format in which data
is displayed.
The Data Display Format is used when:
Data is displayed to the end user in Create Correspondence
user interface.
User input is accepted from the in the Data Capture pod.
And this data is to be displayed in client locale.
Data is processed for merge into PDF Template in Create Correspondence
user interface. There might be some content (Text Modules) that
contains data elements or variables of type number or string. These
variable values are converted to strings using Data Display Format
before replacing them into the content.
Update the Data Edit and Display FormatThe following procedure describes how to update the Data
Edit and Display Formats.
Navigate to http://<hostname>:<port>/lc/system/console/configMgr
and log in with CRX administrator credentials.
Search for and click Asset Composer Configurations.
Search for Data Display Formats.

Search for Data Edit Format, you can:

Set the number decimal separator
Set the number group separator
Specify whether or not to display a number group separator
When specifying the format for numeric and date fieldsThe Correspondence Management data Xml
used to render a letter, contains the numeric and dates data as
formatted in Edit Format.
Create Correspondence user interface captures the data input
from a user in Display Format according to the browser locale.
During expression evaluation, enum, literal and default values
are converted to the corresponding data type using Edit Format.
If a place holder is mapped to a field in the data editing
view of a letter, the Edit format of the place holder must match
the edit format of the field.
