Zero Fill and Upper Case in Visual Composer not working

Hello,

I am building my first VC application and hit a small wall from get go. When I create input fields and set text formats for one to have "Zero Fill" and for the other one "Upper Case" they do not seem to work properly.

“Zero Fill” does not work at all. I set this format and also set max length as 10 to be used as input for customer account #. But it does not perform conversion. When I call a BAPI to get customer list, if I enter 0000000100 it works. When I enter 100 it does not work. Thus "Zero Fill" does not take effect.

"Upper case" works but only after refresh. If I enter ac10 as company code and then click submit it does not work. However if after entering ac10 I press enter and then submit, it work.

Does anyone have any info on how to deal with this? We are using VC 7.0

Thanks,

Alex
