Numbers inputfield doesn't run automatically on change

Hello,
There is an issue with the numbers inputfield component. If you add event handlers to it, and set it to 'on change', the problem is, the handlers do not trigger 'on change'. You have to press 'enter' or click a submit, if not, it doesn't do anything.

The bug in this component is still present, after I've mentioned it one year ago. The problem is, for almost all of our use cases we search by number, the search should run automatically when someone changes the input. I have created a custom component for it now, however it would be much more convenient if Retool would fix this issue with the numbers inputfield component as it is such a basic and main component.

Back then I was informed that the issue might be related to the stepper buttons. Which are present in numbers inputfield, but not in the text inputfield (the text inputfield doesn't have this issue). Could it be put back on the roadmap for a fix?

Thanks :pray:
