Directly control inputfield units

[sliptonic]

Can I explicitly (from Python) set the displayed units of a inputfield? For example, if the user has Standard units set for their UI default and a field is showing '6.35 mm' can I change the unit for that one field so it shows '0.25 in'?

You can change the quantity type, the format of how floats should be displayed or the number of decimals but you cannot change the unit scheme. At the moment this always follows on what is set in the preferences.

In order to support this the InputField class must be adjusted. Feel free to open a feature request.

Thank Werner,
I created an issue https://www.freecadweb.org/tracker/view.php?id=3966

I accidentally created in the Path project and I don't seem to have authority to move it someplace more appropriate. If necessary, I'll delete and recreate.

I have a move button and moved it to the general FreeCAD section.
