    Hi,

    You can do both of that using the input mask. But you must limit character size.

    How can you add Input Mask? 

    Open the field settings and go to option tab like below the image.

    Then you will see the input mask in the below of the tab. More info about input masking you can read of this guide https://www.jotform.com/help/381-Getting-Started-with-the-Basics-of-Input-Masking

    How can you add a dollar sign?

    You must limit character size. For example,
     
    #####$  -> If you can add this in your input mask, the output can be like: 99999$

    Best Regards.

    I checked your from. I guess it's not short text entry field, it's a number field or another field.

    Can you check is it a short text entry? Also, you can give me the field you choose then I can be checked again.
