You can choose to capitalize(first letter in uppercase), use lowercase or uppercase for the text.

You can format dates as Short (08/23/2024), Medium (Aug 23 2024), Long (August 23, 2024) or Full (Friday, August 23, 2024).
Number Formatting
For number fields (like int or double), you can apply custom formats:
- # – shows digit only if present (e.g., ###,###.### → 1,234.56)
- 0 – always shows digit, even if zero (e.g., 000,000.000 → 001,234.560)
- , – thousands separator
