    Could you PLEASE add text functions to the form calculations widget? For example, the ability to substitute text " " for "%20" in a URL so we can actually use the dynamic QR generator. PLEASE add this function.

    Hi VCUHealth,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Unfortunately, the Form Calculation widget currently supports numeric operations only. And about your feature request, while that isn’t currently available at Jotform right now, we've gone ahead and escalated your request to our Developers. Exactly when or if it's developed depends on their workload, how viable it is, and how many other users also request it. If there are any updates, we’ll circle back to this thread and let you know.

    Thank you for your reply. Could you also forward a request to the developers to include other text functions - not just substitution, but also other text functions such as:

    Proper() => Capitalizes the First letter of each word

    Lower() => makes all the characters lower case

    Trim() =>removes spaces before and after the text in the textbox (but does not remove spaces within the text....)
