How do you select the currency on a currency field in Freedom UI?
Hi, in the Freedom UI currency fields, there doesn't appear to be any display of the currency being used or any ability to switch to an alternative currency. I've got more than one currency in the [Currencies] lookup, but the number field just appears to be a regular decimal field for data entry and viewing. I cannot find any details or guides on this in the Creatio Academy besides one article about adding a currency field that doesn't end up having the currency shown or assignable when following the guide in 8.0.10 or 8.1: https://academy.creatio.com/docs/user/nocode_platform/element_setup_examples/fields_and_inputs/number_field/set_up_a_number_field
We need a field that can be set to different currencies depending on the account.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Hello Harvey,
Thank you for bringing our attention to this.
We have contacted our R&D team regarding this matter.
Indeed, the field currently appears as an ordinary number field without any additional logic added.
However, they have a task being already created to improve this functionality in future releases.
In one of the minor releases of 8.2 to be precise.
Kind regards,
Roman

Hi Roman, any update on this functionality? I don't see anything in an 8.3.1 trial instance or the academy for it yet.

Hello,
At the moment, the implementation of currency functionality in Freedom UI is not included in the current development roadmap. The feature has been assigned a lower priority based on current demand, but it will be reviewed for potential inclusion in the next calendar year’s planning cycle.
Dymytriy Vykhodets,
That is wild for an enterprise application to not be able to handle currencies in any meaningful way and have no active plans to fix that. This should be way higher up the priorities. I wish Creatio would stop focussing so much on AI use cases and improve the core platform - that core functionality is what will continue to deliver value for customers for many more years. How can we recommend Creatio to international enterprise customers when it can't handle different currencies?
Harvey Adcock,
We completely understand your concerns and truly appreciate your honest feedback.
At the moment, Freedom UI does not yet support the automatic recalculation of the Amount field when the Currency is changed, as is available in the Classic UI.
Currently, this functionality is not included in the development roadmap for the remainder of the year, as our resources are fully committed to other planned initiatives. That said, we fully recognize the importance of this feature for our customers. Your feedback highlights a valid and valuable point, and we will make sure it is considered during our next roadmap review, likely in Q1.
Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective—it helps us focus on what truly matters and guides future improvements to the core platform.
Hello Malika,
Please add our voice to further emphasize the importance of this feature. As Harvey mentioned, this seems to be a core functionality of any CRM solution. While I believe Freedom UI and its no-code capabilities are an amazing step forward, certain essentials, like this one, appear to have been overlooked and unnecessarily deprioritized. Thank you for your understanding.
Have a great day!
