I remember that one - quite cumbersome. Try something like this:

# You should use the following interface for your forms:
class IMyDecimal(IDecimal):
    """Specify custom decimal interface"""

# Now create a custom data converter
class MyDecimalDataConverter(BaseDecimalDataConverter):
    """Adapt decimal data converter"""
    adapts(IMyDecimal, IWidget)
    # The amount of '#' after the '.' outlines the no. of decimal places
    pattern = '#,##0.####'   

# And specify in overrides.zcml
  <adapter  factory="mymodule.MyDecimalDataConverter" />

This works for me.

Best Regards,
Hermann
