Ever since the 14.4 update, Numbers is forcing the .numbers extension to be showing on every file. I will do a Get Info on the file and tell it to "Hide extension" but as soon as I edit the file, the extension is shown again and that box is unchecked. It's happening on every Numbers file I open now on 14.4.

Not sure how to turn that off. (I like the extension there for clarity.)
I've seen reports that going in the Finder > Settings > Advanced and deselecting 'Show all filename extensions' doesn't work either. But you might try that and then restart your Mac.

Bug or feature, not sure. In case you are not already aware you can give feedback to Apple via Numbers > Numbers Feedback in the menu.
Or go here:

I like the extensions.
I'm not having any problem here (version 14.4, Mac OS 15.4) with files created in 14.4 but I did have to use Get Info to turn off the extensions for files created in earlier Numbers versions. They did not revert back to showing, they stayed the way I set them.
I am having the same issue. If I open a numbers file on the numbers iOS app, then look at the file on my MacBook Pro it now shows the file extension. It does not make it visible if I edit a file from my MBP that had it hidden. I checked the numbers folder in files on my iPhone, setting for "Show All Filename Extensions" is set to off.
Pages on iOS so far is unaffected.
I have the same issue. I remove the numbers file extension on my MacBook Air. But once I open the file on Numbers iOS app, the numbers file extension comes back when I view it on my MacBook. I only observed this recently.
Yeah, that is already unchecked. I haven't checked if Pages and Keynote are doing it too but it's happening to me on two different comptuers so I'm pretty sure it's some sort of bug.
What about if you open them and make a change. Does the extension come back?

They did not come back when I edited and saved them on my Mac. But Alca Torda found that they do if edited on an iPhone.
The extension comes back as soon as it is opened on a Mac and saved.
my phone is not involved - the issue for me is strictly on my Sequoia 15.4.1 Macbook
I consistently experience the problem - open a Numbers doc, save it, and the extension comes back.
How to hide .numbers extension after 14.4 update?
