for specify negative values and other command-line argument begin with dash just separate parameters and additional arguments with two dashes. for example

yad --form --filed "Numeric:NUM" -- "-200!-600..600!10"

but there was a bug with setting negative value for numeric field (only value, not range or step), that fixed in [r388]

Thank you. i ve tried with [r389]. And your example works but using dashes break other --field lines (and other yad arguments) after line with two dashes. 

You must use two dashes only before latest argument. i use many --field and other yad arguments  in my  script.
This solution is useless for me. Is there any other solution or fix ? Sorry my bash knowledge is not so good. (an average scripter) Maybe i am wrong.

an example :

yad --form --field 'Numeric:NUM' -- '-200!-600..600!10' \ --field 'Shells:CB' '!bash!tcsh!zsh' \ --button='gtk-go-back:122' --button='gtk-save:123' \ --center --fixed

values for field have to be specified after arguments. so

yad --form --field 'Numeric:NUM' --field 'Shells:CB' \ --button='gtk-go-back:122' --button='gtk-save:123' \ --center --fixed -- '-200!-600..600!10' 'bash!tcsh!zsh'

must works as expected

The solution "fixes" the problem of displaying a negative number, but you can't add anything to the form after that, for some reason. Example: where $random is negative
yad --form --field='Test.:NUM' -- "$random"'!-180..180!0.001!4' \ --button="Not Shown":2 \ --field="Also not shown":TXT
