Hi guys,

Recently i’m been using Katalon to script automation on my company’s app. However i encounter an issue while using the Mobile.setText() input with uppercase letter. The input with uppercase letters that i have set in the script will auto convert to lowercase. Did you guys encounter this issue or could mind anyone can share the solution? Thanks.

Hi @Alan_Chan1,

Can you tell us what platform you’re testing for (iOS/Android)?

I’ve had some better luck using the `sendKeys` function vs. the `setText` function. Here’s a post with some more info that could be helpful:

> Hi Husnah, Using Katalon’s sendKeys function: Add this import to your test file: import com.kms.katalon.core.mobile.keyword.MobileBuiltInKeywords as Mobile Then send the keys to the textField Test Object: Mobile.sendKeys(textField, "My Value"); Using Appium’s sendKeys function: If that doesn’t work, you can try using Appium’s sendKeys function directly: Add these import statements to the top of your test file: import io.appium.java\_client.android.AndroidDriver import com.kms.katalon.co…

Hope this helps,

Hi @Alan_Chan1,

Thanks for the info. It could be the way real device keyboards are handled that is making the difference. Can you try the `sendKeys` function to see if that works any better?
