Hi Appfarm team! 👋

It would be great if the **Text Edit** component with **Input Type = Number** could support optional built-in up/down spinner controls, similar to a native HTML number input.

It would be even better if this could be enabled or disabled with a setting, so developers can choose when to show the controls.

This would make it much easier for users to adjust values and save us from having to build separate **+** and **−** buttons for a common use case.

Ex.:

Thanks for considering it!
