Numbers - 'hide extension' option doesnt work properly

If I select 'hide extension' in numbers in Get Info, after a few uses of the file, the extension '.numbers' is mysteriously re-added... I select 'hide extension' again and it works for a while, but then the extension just randomly re-appears...


So the extension name doesnt permanently disappear... obviously a bug of some kind...




MacBook Air, macOS 15.5

Sorry, I have no details. (I like showing extensions on my machine.)


Because there have been multiple posts about this I am guessing it is a bug that will have to be addressed in a future release.


You can report the problem to Apple at Numbers > Provide Numbers Feedback in your menu.
