Hello,
Please if someone has successfully converted text such as First name to
Upper Case on the Mobile Phone as it is being typed I would be grateful to
learn from you.
For example, I have two Text Questions (FirstName and Surname) and I want
whatever I type on the phone into those text boxes to appear in Uppercase
on the phone as I am typing irrespective of whether the phone's keypad is
set to Caps or Lower case.
I tried upper-case(FirstName) and upper-case(Surname) but when I tried the
form in Cloud care it did not convert them.
On the same form, I have a Hidden Value question (Fullname) which has the
Calculate Expression: upper-case(concat(FirstName, " ", Surname)) and this
one works but I want the Individual fields to be converted so that it will
appear in the export as upper case.
Please help.

Yaw,
As far as I know it is not possible to convert the letters in the text box
to upper case as you are typing them You can use the upper-case function to
convert that value to all capitals and save it to a hidden value; however,
the text box value itself will remain as it was entered.
You could also use a regular expression to enforce that the letters are
capital case in a validation condition; however, this would just prevent
the user from proceeding and not automatically convert the letters.
Cheers,
Will
