Using toUpperCase() on a text element connected to a dataset

I have seen several solutions, but the way they are using toUpperCase() is a bit different that what I need, and I can’t seem to get it to work.

I have a single text element connected to a dataset, it’s not part of a repeater, and I can’t seem to get toUpperCase() to work on it …

If I have a static value for the element, I can use some stupid code like $w( ‘#text1’ ).text = $w( ‘#text1’ ).text.toUpperCase() … but that doesn’t work if the #text1 is connected to the dataset …

Any insight?

@wingcc or @support72353 might be able to provide some insight.

$w('#repeater').forEachItem( ($item, itemData) => {
	$item('#text1').text = itemData.title.toUpperCase()
})

note: don’t need to connect the text using dataset element.(because it is connected by code)

@wingcc , thank you for responding; but this is not the solution I am looking for …

I’ve seen this solution a couple times in other posts, but, as I said, my text element is not part of a repeater; it’s a standalone text element …

I would have thought that simply using $w(‘#textID’).text.toUpperCase() would have worked, but unfortunately it doesn’t …

Still searching for a way to make a single, standalone text element, connected to a dataset, display in all caps …

Can you help @wingcc ?

@support72353 can you help?

@burkedunnweb Maybe you have to share a URL… hard to guess what you are going to achieve…

@wingcc I realize I initially put this reply in the wrong place:

Here is the URL of the page I need the capitalized text on:
https://burkedunnweb.editorx.io/alyssaserpentini/projects?category=Faux+Finishing

The “Custom Finishes” dropdown menu takes users to the “/projects” page, the contents of the “/projects” page is filtered according to the string in the query parameter of the URL (?category=).

There are two elements on the page, a text element, and a repeater. The text element is not part of the repeater, and is connected to a different dataset (it displays the URL query value). In the collection field referenced by that text item, the text is not capitalized, but I would like that text to display as capitalized.
