Data utility to force name to uppercase

Hi,

we would like to enforce all names being uppercase, both on creation and during rename.

Had the idea of creating a custom data utility to drive this which could be fired on a rename. Is it also possible to reference a data utility in an OIR or would we need to check for check in and fire the utility then?

Cheers

What about putting an Uppercase constraint on the attribute?

The constraint types are mentioned here:

HI,

that will fix the uppercase part, but also now looking at doing some sanity checking such as replacing underscores with spaces and possible some escape characters so that you can force certain characters to lower case such as when specifying a bolt size eg M10x35.

Currently looking into either using a validator or a listener as also need to be able to check on rename.

I think a validator could be used here. The following article provides an example of how to check name and number in the rename wizard. You should be able to modify this to suit your purposes:
