persisting selected unit in Field Conversion fields #494
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I’m working with Field Conversion fields where we have a default unit set (e.g., cm), but other units are available (e.g., mm).
When an editor enters a value using a non-default unit—for example, entering "10" and selecting "mm"—the system correctly calculates the value. However, after saving and reopening the page, the field displays the converted value in the display unit ("1 cm") instead of the originally entered "10 mm".
The database only stores the number value, not the unit.
In DW9 this was possible (although the type has changed).
Describe the solution you'd like
- When using the UI Products should be saved in with the unit selected, even if it's not the display or default unit
- Allow importing values in the unit of choice
