    I don't know why it has been decided to make every class internal making things like adding support for numeric only fields quite difficult. Example:

    UnityEngine.UIElements.TouchScreenTextEditorEventHandler:89
    Code (CSharp):
    1. base.editorEngine.keyboardOnScreen = TouchScreenKeyboard.Open(base.textInputField.text, TouchScreenKeyboardType.Default, autocorrection: true, base.editorEngine.multiline, base.textInputField.isPasswordField);
    When the touch keyboard opens on focus, you default TouchScreenKeyboardType.Default to open. IT would be so easy to expose which type of TouchScreenKeyboardType we choose =(.
    Any ideas if this type of behaviour will be supported in the future?

    Hi @fmabres-fisherpaykel,

    We recently added support to achieve that in Unity 2022.2 and newer. Using the newer versions, you should have access to the keyboardType API or set it through the UI builder.
