Bypass Sentence Case in iOS?

July 15, 20178 yr

Is there a way in FileMaker Go to bypass the auto-capitalization of fields if that function is enabled on an iPad? (On an iPad, it's found at Settings > General > Keyboard > Hardware > Keyboard > Auto-Capitalization.) I have tons of fields in my FM Go solution and have created scripts for the Replace and Substitute commands, but if auto-capitalization is enabled then a user can't insert a lower-case letter at the beginning of a field if, say, they want to replace bat with cat.

I don't want to have to force prospective users to disable the auto-capitalization function every time they want to use my solution--that'd be annoying to be sure, so is there an alternative I can implement/use?

TIA for your help!
