Auto Capitalize Text

[Alex Cason]

We have a requirement to auto capitalize text entered by IT staff when submitting a catalog item. We use integration hub and are using it to create AD groups from submission of a catalog item but to keep our standard of Active Directory we need the text to be in capital letters from when they fill in the catalog form on the portal. What is the best way to achieve?

You can have a onChange client script, to auto-convert the input to upper case, or you can have a validation which shows a message to the show field message that the field can only contain capital letters.

Out of these two, I would prefer the second one, since the user will enter the input in desired format instead of getting confused by auto conversion.

You can utilize below logic for same.

if (str != str.toUpperCase()){// str is your field input
    g_form.showFieldMsg('your_field','Lower case not allowed, only caps','error');
}

If you still want auto conversion:

You can use onchnage client script with below code:

g_form.setValue("your_field_name",str.toUpperCase());

Feel free to mark correct, If I answered your query.

Thanks Aman - When you say field name would i enter the part for the variable name? as it is a variable on the item?

[Aman Kumar S]

Yes, name of the variable.

var str = g_form.getValue("your_field_name");

now you can just copy the code.
