Roblox studio new number imputs don't allow to use "/ * + - ( )" and some other math operators

Bug Reports Studio Bugs
#1

BUG DESCRIPTION:
Old object properties, like color, size, position, and etc can be changed with input like this:
Color: (256/2)-1, (256*2/3)-1, 16*3
Vector3: almost the same

But in some cases, (ex: attributes), I’m unable to do such things, because they don’t accept such characters.

Why I want this to get fixed? Because It’s easier for me to type decimals like 1/3, or 182/100, instead of 0.3333 and 1.82

REPRODUCTION STEPS:

  1. Create Part
  2. Try to change Color, Size with not only numbers, but also math operators
  3. Try to add Attribute-number, and try to make same thing

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR:
I expect every similar input box to have same functionality
ACTUAL BEHAVIOR:
Some input boxes lack of functions

Hi, thanks for the report.

We’re aware of the inconsistency, but we have to address security concerns with that expression evaluation functionality before we consider expanding its usage to more places, so this won’t be solved in the short term.
