  You could use a beforeChange hook to uppercase the field before saving if you wanted to prevent future misalignments. You would need to write a small script to update the existing ones (ez to do).

  
  
  

  Or you could use a beforeRead hook that transforms the text before it’s returned.

  
  
  

  I would likely go with option 1 bc the compute would only need to be done on write, and never on read.
