I have a year filter which is a number list. It keeps using commas to separate the numbers.
I’ve tried setting localization to not have commas which didn’t help (and shouldn’t be the way to fix it anyway because I want currencies to have 1000 separators.)
I’ve tried making the underlying data field not have 1000 separators but that doesn’t change it. Dropdowns seem to ignore all number formats.
It looks like legends do the same:
Even though that field has been configured to not have , separators.

3. On the Dashboard set a Numeric Filter with Seats -> Notice that the Filter Values on the drop down still have a comma separator:

Note that the Connected Field list also doesn't have any commas

### Expected behavior
The Dropdown list for Numbers respect the Numbers Separator style from the Localization setup
