Is there a way to make the input field to accept numeric and alphabetical characters but force all alphabetical characters to capitalized automatically when entered regardless if caps lock is activated or not?

Needed for VINs (vehicle identification numbers numbers)

You can do this with Javascript

You’ll need to first install the Arbitrary Javascript component by Pragmaflow: [How to install the Arbitrary Javascript by Pragmaflow into your Adalo app - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kqd4uGv5ptw)

Then, watch this video starting at about the 1:00 point: [Splitting a string using either Javascript of Xano](https://vimeo.com/664001077) to see how to execute javascript functions.

You’d use **`toUpperCase()`** to capitalize all letters.
