Support for a prefix was added in the template \applications\core\dev\html\global\forms\number.phtml but the code to display the prefix is checking the wrong variable on line 5:

{{if \is_string( $suffix )}}
{$prefix|raw}
{{endif}}

 

The IF should check $prefix rather than $suffix:

{{if \is_string( $prefix )}}
	{$prefix|raw}
{{endif}}

 

Looks like this was "fixed" in 4.7.4 by completely removing the code instead of changing the variable check. 🙄

 

As it is now, there is no way to display a prefix for Number fields in a form.

To be fair, none of the form element templates shows the prefix, it's always shown as part of the row template, which wraps the form element, so the proper fix here was to remove it from the number template.

I see. Guess we can mark this as fixed then. 😮
