Edit Field Number in App Designer with a Workspace Variable

I'm trying to show a Workspace variable in UI using the edit field number with App Designer. Do you know if is it possible or not?

Of course you can, you have plenty of ways to do it. Do you call a function/script in App Designer code or what?
Set a tag, or a unique name for your app in Component Browser, under UIFigure - Identifiers, and get its handle this way:
% in your script
app = get(findall(0, 'Tag', 'AppUIFigure'), 'RunningAppInstance');
Now you have app in your workspace as well, you can assign values to app objects/properties
app.EditField.Value = Variable;
% ^^^^^^^^^
% Change accordingly, this is the handle to the Edit Field component
