TFS. Apply pattern matching to a double field

There are system fields:

Effort

As I understand these fields are of type double. TFS does not allow you to enter letters into these fields.

My problem is that TFS allows you to enter a dot (.) or a comma (,) in the fields. But if you enter a comma (,) in the field, TFS deletes it after saving the form. For example, the number 15,50 will be converted to 1550.

I understand that this can be partially corrected by the Windows localization settings, but this option does not work. does not provide a 100% guarantee.

The documentation found that you can use pattern matching, but this only applies to fields of type string (https://learn.microsoft.com/ru-ru/vsts/work/customize/reference/apply-pattern-matching-to-string-field).

How can I check the value in the field so that when I enter 15,50 I get 15.50 or an error when saving?

Used version of TFS 15.117.27024.0.

Unfortunately the feature is not supported for now.

You can only set that with dot (.), but it will remove the 0 if the last bit is 0, that means you can only get 15.5 but not 15.50.

And there isn't a rule to match the condition which contains a comma (,) in the fields (See Assign conditional-based values and rules). So, we also cannot set error when saving.

Actually there's already a user voice here to suggest this feature, you can go and vote it up to help achieving that in future.
