Hi All
Im trying to use a simple format transform to add a “MPa” unit to my value.
But i realized for text used in the format pattern, they are capitalized by default, and “MPA” was displayed instead.
Is there any way to “un-capitalize” it?
Or any better way to add a unit to a value for label component?
Hey jespinmartin1, thank you for the reply.
So i guess it is meant for “patterns” only.
Because i saw in the inductive university video they have used a prefix as an example, so i was thinking it is applicable for suffix, units etc as well.
But still… How i wish there is a way to remove the default capitalization…
You could try wrapping the prefix/suffix in the pattern with ' literals:

Hi Paul, have tried with ‘test’, but still displayed as TEST
Hi jespinmartin1, thank you for showing the example with 2 transforms.
Was hoping to do it in 1 transform only, but i guess 2 transforms is the method to do so…
Just looked into it, and the uppercasing is deliberate (we’re specifically doing it in our code) but I can’t really figure out why. That would be the ideal way to do this (creating a formatter is somewhat expensive), but should be fine.
To make it match an 80's HMI? 
I’ve filed a ticket to correct this behavior; there’s no reason to uppercase the pattern.
Thanks for showing how to do it!
