    FYI - This is from Quickbase Support:

     

    This is to inform you that we will be escalating this matter to product for a change. The problem we discovered with classic reports is that the default setting, which is set to "after 4 places" was never respected, so users were seeing the standard format. When we launched the new grid reports, the bug was resolved, but now when the default settings are respected it is showing the values in the format "after 4 places", that's why users have the feeling that this suddenly changed.

Quickbase defaults to have a numbers up to 9999 show with no comma and when you hit 10,000 it shows the comma.  If you want to force number like 9999 to show as 9,999 then you have to change that setting for every field.  I assume the reasoning for that behaviour is that it makes the reports a little less wide.

I also wish there were some kind of global realm or at least application level default setting for that, but there is not.  If you put in a user voice feedback, suggestion, and post a link back here I will vote for it.
