Evaluating case sensitivity

No-Code Platform
1

We recently ran into a couple problems in regards to case sensitivity when going live with a customer. What is NW DataItem level support for uppercase only? Are we expected to always evaluate lower and upper case within our code? Our concern is if we’re having to write uppercase conversions as code as we’ve often had to do in the preledger and other APIs it will pollute the code base.

For context: one example was importing an address lowercase rather than uppercase and hitting bill to validation errors. Another example is erroring for an invalid VIN on a vehicle because it was lowercase rather than upper.

@ellen.kaufman For Text data items, there is a Capitalization Rule field available that you can set to Uppercase only or Lowercase only. Could it be a possible solution to any of the issues you’re experiencing?

I will discuss and let you know thank you. That will not resolve the address issue though, right?

It will not resolve the address issue we’re discussing separately, no.

What is the current way to evaluate lower and upper case within your code? Is there special function in Logic Block Builder?

Ah, I see; there is Text Manipulation in LB builder to do the conversion.
