More complex "text" expression and number formating Feature Requests

Number formats for the text expression would be huge for me. Many apps I make are for road construction, which use a chainage number format: 1,000 becomes 1+000 10 becomes 0+010 It can be annoying formatting this with SWITCH() statements… @Steve_Howard any indication of when text masking might arrive?
