The capitalize helper capitalizes the first letter of a string and leaves all other characters unchanged. Use it to ensure sentences, labels, or field values start with a capital letter.
Syntax
{{capitalize field}}
field -- The string to capitalize. Required. Accepts a literal string or field reference.
Examples
Capitalize the first letter of a sentence
{{capitalize record.day}}
Input: record.day is "today is the day!"
Output: Today is the day!
Capitalize a hard-coded string
{{capitalize "hello world"}}
Output: Hello world
Capitalize a single word
{{capitalize record.type}}
Input: record.type is "dog"
Output: Dog
Usage notes
- Only the first letter of the string is capitalized. All other characters remain unchanged, including the casing of subsequent words.
- If the string starts with a space or punctuation, the first alphabetic character may not be in the expected position. Trim whitespace before passing the value if needed.
- To capitalize the first letter of every word, use the capitalizeAll helper instead.
