Will placing 'Upper(TextFormat.Text), in a Label or TextInput in some manner force the text to default to ALL CAPITALIZED?

I am looking for a way to make sure ONLY all capitalized is allowed to be entered, or that ONLY all capitalized in coming back from the SharePoint list and viewable in the Gallery fields.

For the TextInput just let them type however they want but pass the results on as Upper(TextInput.Text)

Do I put Upper(TextInput.Text) in the Format property or in the Default property of the TextInput?

What if it's a CombBox control or Dropdown?

you dont put it on the textinput, you put it wherever you reference the text input. Like i mentioned above just let them type however they want in the text input. then when you call on it do Upper(TextInput.Text) so even if the user types Bob, it will send BOB

Does that mean in the Patch formula, if I'M sending to A SharePoint LIST?

And, when they call that data back from SharePoint to view, say in a 'View' form, the content will be CAPITALIZED?

That is correct, if you manipulate it to Upper during the patch anyone looking that up in the future will see it as upper. Unless you further manipulate it using Lower or Proper

Is this the correct formatting?

Patch(
'Client_List',
Defaults('Client_List'),
{Title: Add_Individual_ID.Text,
Prefix: Upper(Add_Individual_Prefix_Dropdown.Selected.Value),
Suffix: Upper(Add_Individual_Suffix_Dropdown.Selected.Value),
First_Name: Upper(Add_Individual_First_Name_Fld.Text),
Last_Name: Upper(Add_Individual_First_Name_Fld.Text)
);

Yah, other than missing a }, looks right.
