Text Field Properties - Insert degree symbol after field has been filled out with a number like 180

I have a text field created and when someone fills it out I want the degree symbol to show up after.

For example, if someone enters the number 180 I want the degree symbol to show up so it looks like 180°.

When I open up Text Field Properties > Format, which one do I use (Custom format script: or Custom keystroke Script" and what is the javascript code for this to occur?

Make sure you have copied the presented code exactly. There is a shortcut being used to append the "°" symbol.

Or you can use:

if (event.value != "") event.value = event.value +  "°";

Use this code as the field's custom Format script:

if (event.value) event.value += "°";

The code is working in regards to placing a degree symbol after the number. The issue occurring now is if I fill the field out as 180, it changes the number to 0 so it looks like  0°. Is there a way to stop this from occurring?

I tried it and it's not doing that. Make sure you remove any other code you added to that field.
