Change the display of a number field on View Screen

Question

I have a Number Field PO Number, in which I can input a max 10 digit numeric value.

After creating the issue, when I see the number on View Screen it displays as below, for e.g.

Create Screen: PO Number: 1111111111

View Screen: PO Number: 1,111,111,111

Since this number is not an amount; how do I display it without the commas?

Kindly suggest.

Even after restarting jira, the changes did not affect. Its still showing commas.

If you want rid of numeric separators, you can do that by changing the look and feel so that they do not display in number fields.

Be aware that changing that affects all numeric fields, and makes them damn hard for humans to read.  The suggested code change has the same effect, and also makes your server unsupported.

Thing is, here, your PO number is not a number, it is a string (that happens to be made up of digits).  A far better option is to add a new short text field for it and remove the numeric version - this means actual numbers will continue to be shown in a readable form without affecting the simple string of digits that your PO "number" really is.
