I've created a number field and want to allow a user to be able to enter a decimal (ie: 99.99). I've tried several ways of entering a value in the Step field (0.01, 2, 9.99, 99, any) but nothing I've tried allows a user to enter a decimal.

Hi,
When using Number on a text field, what does STEP control then?
In according with Number HTML5 the step attribute allow you to choose increment when you use +/- buttons, see screenshot 1

docs at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/number

To make this the best way is to use text field type and set parameter "Format Allowed" to Decimal (see screenshot)
Missing Screenshot, anyway "Decimal" use regular expression like "[0-9]+[,]*[0-9]*" (so it uses "," as separator between integer and decimal numbers). If you want use "." char then you can fill details like screenshot 2

Is there a way to switch a field type once it's created—such as from Number to Text?

I saw that in the text field option. Would it make sense to make it available in the number field as well? Or what do you see the number field actually being used for?

Numeric field type allow only to use integer (this is equal to input[type=number] in HTML5).

To make this the best way is to use text field type and set parameter "Format Allowed" to Decimal (see screenshot)
