Hi, I would like to get the OnChange event trigger for the following input widget too: Number widget In my use cases the change of a value (input widget) via up/down-control effects other fields (calculation results) So it would be helpful to get this trigger also as it exists for the single select widget Is this on your timeline/radar?

Hi @ChrisF, Thanks for the feedback. We don’t currently have implementing an “OnChange” trigger for the Number Input widget. This is an interesting idea, and I understand why it would be helpful for your use case. Let me suggest a couple options that might help you in this situation. 1. Implement “Up” and “Down” buttons to control the value. This will allow you to fire a trigger each time one of the buttons is pressed 2. Checkout the [Change Detector Widget](https://tulip.co/library/apps/change-detection-widget/) in the Tulip Library. This might have the capabilities you’re looking for to help with your current use case. Adam ---

Hi @AdamWarmington The single select widget fires the trigger when changing the value, the number widget should do so when changing the value via the integrated up/down controls. Additional Up/Down buttons are irritating because they are there twice. And yes, the Change detector widget is the workaround I’m using. But the functionality should be consistent over all widgets.

I agree with @ChrisF. I was deploying an app the other day. The app builder had put a trigger with some actions on a text input field and didn’t understand why the actions weren’t executed despite changing the value. Having to hit the Enter key is definitely not a reflex the users had in the shop floor from what we could see. We found a workaround though. Another time, I was building an app that needed to show computed numbers depending on a weight number input. I used the change detector custom widget which greatly improved user experience. Having to click buttons or change steps is less user-friendly. It would be nice to have this “on change” behavior on all input types. ---
