How to replace comma with dot in form field

I'm trying to create a field in a PDF that might contain decimal numbers and calculates this field with another field. As an example, when I write 2.3 in the fillable field, the equation works, but when I write 2,3, the result is NaN. I want to replace the comma I wrote in the field with a dot, or if there is some other workable solution to make this calculation work, I exept all solutions. I have tried with JavaScript (value.replace (/, /, '.')) But I can not make it to work or I'm placing it to a wrong place or something. Please notice that I'm not good at coding.

Can anyone help with this?

So you want to write 2,3 but field to show 2.3?

try this as custom format script:

event.value = event.value.replace(",",".");

Is there a way to edit all fields at once? Because if I choose more than one field the window "format" doesnt show up, only when I choose a single field.

Why not simply use the built-in Format option that has a comma as the decimal separator? That will allow you to enter the value directly with the comma, and will handle it correctly in later calculations.

Tried that. If I write 2,3 it gives me back 23.00?
