I'm trying to create a new custom fields plugin for the standard Joomla Form Field Number. We have it for Integer and i'd like to have the same for the number field. That way w'll also gain ability to use floats.
I'm not there yet and i need help! Thats why i created this Draft PR. Hoping smarter people like here will be willing to guide me as to whats missing still.
I'm having the issue where the view of the custom field in an e.g. article is generating a list field. How and where do i fix this? It should generate a numbers field.
I know i still need to add the sql but i first like to get the main code working correctly.

Extra plugin added
Testing Instructions
You can discover the extension and then use it in custom fields. It's called numbers.

So the wall i'm hitting now is that i can't figure out how the display of the custom field in an "article edit view" is set or adjusted. Looking at for instance the integer custom field it sort of automagically seems to work. Because i can't seem to find a reference anywhere in the plugin folder itself.
Could someone point me in the right direction here?
I'm not there yet and i need help!
There is still some work to be done regarding the databases and the installation, see e.g.:
