This can be done using a field script that formats the input field whenever it changes. The constant textid_ needs to be updated to point to the input field.

I would recommend to hide this field script in order not to clutter the default view.

function capitalizeFirstLetter(string) {
    return string.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + string.slice(1);
}

function Text_Formatter() {
   const text_id = 'fld-xxxx'; // update according to your input field

   let text = record.getFieldValue(text_id);
   text = capitalizeFirstLetter(text.toLowerCase());

   record.setFieldValue(text_id, text, false);
   document.saveAllChanges();
   return text;
}

Text_Formatter();

I noticed that the script wasn’t triggered when I first created it. Closing and reopening the TapForms document fixed it!
