I think we'll also need to add Percent to the supported control lists for the options that work with it. Which definitely includes FormattingLocale and FormattingOptions, but probably is a bunch of other ones, too. (This is something that it would be really nice to automate but I'm pretty sure we don't have anything for it.)

| ## Overview | ||
|
|
||
| The **Percent** control supports entering a number as a percentage while still storing the number internally as it's mathematical value. For example: |
| - Enter 50 to represent 50% (stored as 0.5 in the DataPortal) | ||
| - Enter 72.6 to represent 72.6% (stored as 0.726 in the DataPortal) | ||
|
|
||
| After entering a number it is then displayed formatted using Intl.NumberFormat. |

Can we make Intl.NumberFormat a link to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Intl/NumberFormat?
| - [**Max**](../06.Setting-Details/Max.md): This defines the maximum possible numeric input into the Percent field. All input values above will display an error box to the user. | ||
| - [**DefaultValue**](../06.Setting-Details/DefaultValue.md): This defines the default value that is displayed to the user and stored in number representation on the database upon initialization. | ||
|
|
||
| **Note:** Min, Max, and DefaultValue should be the numeric representation of the number. For example for a max of 50%, Max should be set ot 0.5. |

I think we need the product area for major updates (and I'm fine with this being a major update).
