All Caps (Uppercase) Actions on User Input LOOP
Hello All, I am wanting to have all the text in a user input field converted to Uppercase. The following does the trick, but then I get a endless revolving arrow icon next to the field. This tells me that it is in a loop replacing the same All Caps data. How do I get the loop to stop. I hit the ESC. button and the revolving icon does stop. Is there a way to have it stop immediately and remove the revolving icon? Here is my current code for the Actions on User Input script. course_all_caps=input.Course_number_section.toUpperCase();

Dropdown list input.FIELD gives an error when I try to parse it.
I have a dropdown list. I populate it with a LOT number + ~ + Date of the lot. ie: '123456 ~ 09/05/2018' This works because I can see the lot and date. If I used a lookup field it only showed the lot number and no date. The problem I have is when I save the form, in my onSuccess script I have the following code { ... lot = input.LOT; l = lot.startsWith('~'); ... } the line with the startsWith gives an error Mismatch data type for function startsWith at argument index 1 expected data type [TEXT]

Select records with field value matching any one value in multi-select field?
Is it possible to create a many-to-one query? Value of multi-select field for record 1 is (TEST1, TEST2) Value of multi-select field in record 2 = (TEST1) Value of multi-select field in record 3 = (TEST2) Can I query the table to select record 2 and record 3 as matches for record 1, based on having one shared value rather than an exact match for both values?

HTML formatting and editing lost in Creator 5 - workaround?
Previous version of Creator used to allow for inserting HTML on a page, and evoking a rich text editor to apply WYSIWYG type formatting. This functionality appears to now be gone in Creator 5 when using HTML snippets. Worse than that, HTML that IS formatted and displays correctly when using another HTML editor does not honor the text formatting (such as the /strong attribute). Previous pages migrated from old Creator have lost all of the text formatting. So none of the old Pages with HTML now look

Form Name will not rename in sidebar display
I have a form which contains a number of subforms. I added a subform and the name of the form itself changed to the subform I selected. I deleted the subform I added. But the form name stayed the same as the subform. I have used form properties to rename the form and it works in the display but it still shows the subform name in the sidebar menu. I cannot get it to rename. I really don't want to recreate the entire form just so I can get the name correct in the sidebar. Any ideas? TIA

Next Task is Null
i have a section that was built by someone else. when the emails go out, the Next_Task_Template Record displays as a null value. I believe it is due to a line "Found_Current = "No" If "Found_Current" is just a variable with a boolean, and with in the next loop "Found Current"="Yes", then why does the inner loop not run? All this script is doing, is checking to see if when changes are made, the next task email gets sent to the next person. When I use the "Info" is states records are empty. any suggestions
