Transforming Strings

WS Form can transform the case of text entered into fields as well as transforming the case of text using WS Form variables.

Demo

Transform Fields

Text based fields have a Transform setting that can be used to force the text to be either:

• Uppercase
• Lowercase
• Capitalized
• Sentence Case

The following field types support the transform functionality:

• Text
• Textarea
• Email
• Search
• Color

To apply a transformation, first click the edit icon on any field.

Next, click on the Advanced tab and then change the Transform setting.

Then click Save.

Now any text entered into that field will be transformed as it is typed according to the setting you choose.

Note that when the field is submitted it will retain the text transformation.

Transform Variables

It is also possible to transform strings using WS Form variables.

For example:

#upper(#field(123))

This would convert the value of field ID 123 to uppercase.

You can use this in conjunction with the #text variable to update a field in real time.

For example, putting the following in the default value of a text field:

#text(#upper(#field(123)))

Would insert the value of field ID 123 as an uppercase string.

The following variables can be used to transform strings (client-side and in actions):
