You can also instead create whole number field if you only want numeric input and use Min and Max value settings already on whole number type fields. This way you won't need any customization. And comma values are allowed/shown on UI if user enters but not saved in backend value.

Thanks

Thank you. I just made a plain text field and maxed it out at 4 characters, so that will work.

You can create this as a plain text field and add some validation (JavaScript client side or a CRM Plug-in) and check that it contains only numbers.
