Number

This field doesn’t restrict the range of numbers you can enter, but for something easier to edit, you can use a rating (a quick and easy way to set a value between 1 and 5) or a slider field (1-100).
You can use formatting options to color this field based on its value for an idea to make them stand out. For example: “color in red all values greater than 50”.
