In the Eledo editor:

1. Add a **Text Box (TXT)** component
2. In Data (expression), enter a field name (for example Quantity)
3. Confirm and save the template

In your n8n workflow:

1. Add the Eledo PDF node
2. Select your credentials
3. Choose your template
4. Make sure Input is set to **Guided Fields**

Step 3 — Add and fill the field

In the Eledo node:

1. Click Add Text or Number Field
2. Select the field (for example Quantity)
3. Enter a numeric value into the Value field

Step 4 — Format the number (recommended)

By default, numbers are converted to text automatically.
This may result in inconsistent formatting.

Use formatting functions in the template to control output.

Examples:

NUM(Quantity, 0, 2)
CURR(Quantity, 0, 2)
CONCAT("$", CURR(Quantity, 0, 2))
