7 years ago No-no-no! I actually thought of making an opposite request. Series are not always just a number. The "omnibus" editions, for example, contain several volumes in original simple numbering and consequently a volume of omnibus edition is numbered like "4, 5, 6" or "4-6". In cases like this, I am forced to set number in the series to a single number, then open the editor again and change it to the intended text.

7 years ago I'd not realised the editor was only allowing numerics, I just wanted the starting mode of the editor to be numeric rather than alphabetic if that's possible. Just had a go on android and see that while a calculator set of symbols appear, only 0-9 and . work, the others, like '-' and ',' are there, but don't work. That does sound like a bug to me.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3544214/edittext-with-number-keypad-by-default-but-allowing-alphabetic-characters seems to suggest it can be done
When you add a book to a series, the # field starts in number, not alphabet mode, which is handy. But when you go back and edit the field, it does not. It would be useful for it to consistently start in numeric mode.
