Available only to Short Text Entry fields, you can validate your respondents' entry by choosing a validation format from the field's properties.
I hope this helps. If you have other questions, please feel free to contact us again anytime.

Using "Currency" as the validated format does not require a currency entry nor convert a numerical entry into one. It only disallows non-numerical entry i.e.
Accepted: 12000 (shows as "12000" not $12,000.00")
Accepted: $12,000.00 (shows "$12,000.00")
Not accepted: horse (shows entry-error message)
The thing I'm looking to do is easily interpret this field when large figures are input such as 400000, 2000000 or similar. If this field displayed $400,00.00/ $2,000,000.00 in those cases it will do what I need. I do suspect this is somewhat intentionally impossible but, am hoping I am wrong. Any ideas?

You may want to use the Input Masking feature to have the validation precision you need.
User guide: Getting Started with the Basics of Input Masking
Let us know if this feature will still not work for you.

Thanks. I just looked though and the Input Mask does not provide for this request. It appears to get a number to format as a currency, a much simpler operation than most which are available, you have to use some sort of payment widget. Is that correct?

Can you please check Masked Input widget here. I think it is what you were looking for.
It has multiple validation property options.
Let us know if this still will not do.
