Numeric but can be blank

I have a form that includes the following

Forms\Components\TextInput::make('company_number')
    ->label('Company Number')
    ->numeric()
    ->nullable(),

Forms\Components\TextInput::make('company_number')
    ->label('Company Number')
    ->numeric()
    ->nullable(),

However, when I try to submit the form, if this field is left blank, I get the following validation error

The company Number field must be a number.

Is there a way to require the field to be numeric or blank? Also as a slight aside, how do I capitalise the 'c' in the validation error?

Try doing nullable() before numeric() Sometime the order matters. If that doesn’t work you can always do it manually with ->rules([‘nullable’, ‘digits’]) Things like nullable and sometimes have to be first in the validations in laravel since they will bail the validation.

Thanks @awcodes. Unfortunately, even moving nullable() first I get the same error. Weirdly though, when I tried the second suggestiong using 'digits' it showed some weird characters in the field even though it should be blank.
