CN normalization

0 votes

Hi,

We are using a business rule to normalize both CN and DisplayName (OnBefore Create event). This BR force a pattern like LASTNAME, Firstname.
We need (because it's a mandatory attribute) to use also a property pattern to set a default value for the CN (FullName) : %lastname:upper%, %firstname:lower%
The problem is that the property pattern seems to overtake the Business Rule : the FullName is set to LASTANME, firstname instead of LASTNAME, Firstname.
It's not critical but i would like to finalize this if possible.

Maybe i'm doing something wrong, if you have a clue, thanks for your help.

Hello,

Your value that you set by the SetModifiedPropertyValue method in the Business Rule is not applied because it differs from the value generated by the Property Pattern by case only. We'll fix this in our nearest release.

As a temporary workaround, I suggest that you restore the default value for the FullName property in the User Property Pattern to its default, which is %firstname% %lastname%. Then your Business Rule will work.

Thanks, that's a good and easy fix
