I wrote a code to update the Lettering of the first name in Zoho but it's not working

Question

Here's the deluge script to capitalize the first letter of the sentence and make the other letters small that isn't working:

a = zoho.crm.getRecordById("Contacts",input.ID);

d = a.get("First_Name");

firstChar = d.subString(0,1);

otherChars = d.removeFirstOccurence(firstChar);

Name = firstChar.toUppercase() + otherChars.toLowerCase();

mp = map();

mp.put("First_Name",d);

b = zoho.crm.updateRecord("Contacts", Name,{"First_Name":"Name"});

info Name;

info b;

I tried capitalizing the first letter of the alphabet and make the other letters small. But it isn't working as expected.

Answer 1

Try removing the double-quotes from the Name value in the the following statement. The reason is that Name is your variable holding the case-adjusted name, but "Name" is the string "Name".

From:

b = zoho.crm.updateRecord("Contacts", Name,{"First_Name":"Name"});

To

b = zoho.crm.updateRecord("Contacts", Name,{"First_Name":Name});

Answer 2

Try using concat

Name = firstChar.toUppercase().concat( otherChars.toLowerCase() );

Answer 3

Your code put 'd' into "First_Name" but 'd' wasn't cleansed. You also don't need a map as you are updating with the key/value in the update Record. Try this...

Set argument of contactId

contactRec = zoho.crm.getRecordById("Contacts",contactId);

firstChar = contactRec.get("First_Name").subString(0,1);

otherChars = contactRec.get("First_Name").removeFirstOccurence(firstChar);

firstName = firstChar.toUppercase() + otherChars.toLowerCase();

updateContact = zoho.crm.updateRecord("Contacts", contactId,{"First_Name":Name});

Answer 4

a = zoho.crm.getRecordById("Contacts",cId);

d = a.get("First_Name");

firstChar = d.subString(0,1);

otherChars = d.removeFirstOccurence(firstChar);

Name = firstChar.toUppercase() + otherChars.toLowerCase();

mp = Map();

mp.put("First_Name",Name);

update = zoho.crm.updateRecord("Contacts", cId, mp);

Answer 5

This might help you

sentence = "salsalIn mOoKo sIge NA";
capitilize_first_char_every_word = sentence.proper();
capitilize_only_first_char_of_sentence = sentence.subString(0,1).toUpperCase().concat(sentence.subString(1,sentence.toList("").size()).toLowerCase());


info capitilize_first_char_every_word;
info capitilize_only_first_char_of_sentence;

Info result should be :

Salsalin Mooko Sige Na
Salsalin mooko sige na
