Useer Input var textual issue

MindStudio IDE Bug Reports
1

I’m using a custom interface on a vibe coded user input block. One of the vars is configured as “Text Choice” with 4 different textual options. I use the output of the var for some title informtion bound for a Send Email block: In the body of the Send eMail block:

Essay Assessor v2b - (A MindStudio Agent)

{{student}}'s {{essayType}} Essay Assessment:

{{graded}}

… where {{essayType}} is the user input var from the Text Choice object. All woks well except that the resultant value of the var is always lowercase text, though it’s initialized caps in the input var setup. A minor issue , but it looks pretty funky as part of title information in the email content.

Hi @Avocet,

Thanks for the post!

The reason why the {{essayType}} output isn’t capitalized is because of the Custom Interface code. Right now, it saves the values in lowercase, as you can see in lines 367–371:

To fix this, open the Custom Interface code, update the values, then click “Compile” and publish the Agent to apply the changes.

Hope this helps!

Thank you mucho Alex … that did the trick, however, when the user input block is refreshed, I will have to make thos edits once again, no? No big deal as I know a solution.

Hi @Avocet,

Your changes will be saved as long as you click Compile and publish the Agent, unless you choose to re-generate the User Interface from scratch.

If you do re-generate it, you can also prompt it to make sure the output is capitalized.
