Make All Text Entries Capital

[pn1995]

Hi

We have a PowerApp form that is built on a SharePoint list

We would like all the text the user enters into the form to be in CAPITALS 

Anyone know if its possible to format the entries, either while typing, or when the form is saved into Capitals?

Thanks

I'm wondering if you could help on this previous response, it's managed to do what I need it, I'm actuallly using the proper rather than the upper.

Only issues I have is that the Text still shows when I select the Save & Submit Button even though I have a reset of the form on the onsuccess property
Can oyu advise how to get this reset. thank you

@ClaireAllen ,

If you set the Variable to Blank(), it should clear the text box.

Thank you @WarrenBelz 
I'm struggling to get this to work, I've tried adding this t hte update, onchange and nothing seems to what to reset / remove text once submitted or refresh
Obvioulsy I'm putting this is the wrong datacard.

Kind regards

Claire

@ClaireAllen ,

I have not got much to work with here from your post on this old closed thread, but you are saying the text still shows - assuming the Default is the Variable mentioned in the original post, why does setting the Variable to Blank() not work ?

[ClaireAllen]

@WarrenBelz When I try to set the var on the default of the datacard or even the datacardvalue, I get an error , so obviously that is incorrect place to set the var, I then tried to add the set var on the OnChange but I could not get this to work, the text still displayed so again obvioulsy I'm doing something wrong

On Change property I have the following

Not sure how or where to add the set the variable to blank,
I'm trying to use Set(varProper, Blank()) but as mentioned it does not clear the text, I must not have the configuration correct.

But thank you for the info as I've got the first part working on changing the text from capitals to Proper, just can't get the field to reset on submit or refresh buttons

@ClaireAllen ,

Set is a Global Variable - you are setting a totally different Variable to Blank() - you need

UpdateContext({varProper: Blank()})

@WarrenBelz 
Thank you for the info, and apologise if I'm unclear, the issue I'm having is even if I set it as a new variable as you mentioned, it still does not clear the text from the field even when I have submitted the form,
Maybe I have not explained myself correctly and for that I apologise
When I complete the last name field, and I select Save & Submit the text still shows it does not clear, this is the issue I'm having.
I've tried adding

UpdateContext({varProper: Blank()})

I've tried putting on the Data Card, on the buttons and still get the same result, so maybe I'm putting the variable in the wrong place?

Thank you for your guidance
Regards

Claire

@ClaireAllen ,

Just so I am clear, are you saying the Default of that Text Control is varProper and 

UpdateContext({varProper: Blank()})

does not clear the control - please see test below

@WarrenBelz , really sorry about this.
I had not tried it in the default value, that was proberbly the only place I had not tried it, However, I get an error message if I put the UpdateContent on the Default property with the varProper
Again, unless I am doing something wrong, I've tried replacing the ; with And and still get an error
