I've been working on the WeSplit app from days 17-18 of the course recently. I saw that that the .currency(code:) formatter is used to format numbers depending on user's locale, so I customized the locale in the preview to see if anything would change - specifically to the Polish locale, which, like most European languages I think, uses comma as the decimal separator.

Is there any way to make TextField use the same format, which I think would be more consistent?
