I could confirm there is no possibility to set a field for DocInfo to a formatted numeric value.

But: What do you want to get there? Don't you need a field like Fields → Variables → User Field? There you could set the formatted numeric value.

I will set this bug as NEW, because it doesn't work. 
It has never been implemented. So I set the first version to Inherited by OOo.
Set Importance to "enhancement".

Tested with OpenSUSE 15.4 64bit rpm Linux and different LO versions.
