convert to uppercase on business rule

[zschneider]

I have a request to convert certain fields to all uppercase. It looks like the toUppercase() function does not work on a business rule, and it's necessary to use a BR for this since a lot of the field data will come in through bulk imports.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to convert a field value to all uppercase in a business rule?

Thanks!

Hmm, this worked fine for me in a "before update" Business Rule:

current.short_description.toUpperCase();

Are you sure your Business Rule is running?

I tested it out on description, not short_description. I wonder if it's an issue with that field type. Thanks for the feedback.

I just tested and confirmed that it works on Description.

Before business rule - on insert or update
Condition: current.description != current.description.toUpperCase()
Script:
current.description = current.description.toUpperCase();


Also see attached screenshot.

Ah wait, you typed "toUppercase()". Is that what you used? The correct method is "toUpperCase()".
