WrongGPT strikes again! The assistant gave you code that will never work. But it’s close! We just need to define a function, capitalize. I’d insert the following before line 1:

function capitalize(txt) {
    return txt.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + txt.substr(1).toLowerCase();
}

Thanks @raydeck! That got me past one error, but I hit another error that ‘join’ had not been defined. I went straight to ChatGPT and asked it to fix it, which it did:

function capitalize(txt) {
    return txt.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + txt.substr(1).toLowerCase();
}
const nameInput = variables['2b83dd56-5be6-45bc-a5c1-3d9e292ebc87-value'];
const words = nameInput.split(' ');
const capitalizedWords = words.map(word => capitalize(word));

const joinedString = capitalizedWords.join(' '); // Use the join() method here
return joinedString;

Great!

For what it’s worth, this is the kind of multi-part but confined domain question that can take days to iterate on a forum that gets solved in minutes when we work together. we do this every day in state change office hours.
