Which type of field ensures that users enter only numbers in a form?

Choosing the integer property type ensures that users can only enter whole numbers in a form. This property type is specifically designed to accept numeric input, thus enforcing data integrity by disallowing any non-numeric characters. This type of field automatically prompts validation rules that apply specifically to integers, meaning any attempt to enter text or invalid characters will not be accepted.

While the decimal property type also allows for numeric input, it permits the entry of decimal values, which might not be suitable if only whole numbers are desired. A text field with edit validation and an edit validate rule could enforce numeric constraints but rely on explicit additional validations, making them less straightforward than using a designated integer property type. Therefore, for scenarios where you want to guarantee that users can only input numbers without any additional configuration or complexity, the integer property type is the most effective choice.
