[4.x] Selectable currency for money field #11047
-
|
Add an option to the money field to change the currency of the field on entry/product level. I now did it by creating a custom drop-down field with all the currencies and used a condition rule on this field to show the right formatted money field but this is both for the user not the optimal solution as when you change the drop-down the value is gone off course and template wise this isn't also optimal. |

We originally planned on making it selectable, but it adds a ton of complexities to the field, which made it feel a bit out of scope for a built-in field type, and better left to a plugin. For example, it would make sorting by the field very difficult. We would need to start storing an additional normalized currency value for each field, based on currency exchange rates – which would need to be kept updated as the exchange rates change. |
