Case of Labels and Actions
Why do form labels and action labels have the everything after the first word as lower case? Is there anyway to override this for everything? Frustrating when you have create a custom label for everything when its the exact same words, you just want to correct the case. 'New management company' in my opinion should be 'New Management Company'. Im sure there is a reason for this, but why and anyway to set the preference?

No way to set a preference as far as I know. You could always extend the action class and then override the
getLabel() with your own logic.But why is it even the case in the first place?
there isnt a way to set your preference at the moment
thats just the way we've chosen to make it work that we think makes the UI look the best
you can write a PR to add a preference option though
I’m curious why you think it looks better. It’s not standard practice as far as I know. Just personal preference or is there something else behind it?
I don’t know if this is the reason, but for example in other languages where you have more use of propositions IMO it looks weird to have them capitalized. For example in my school management app, in Spanish “Parents” is “Padres de familia”. I personally prefer that over “Padres De Familia”. I could see a case for “Padres de Familia” but I’d have to create a separate helper to parse the propositions.
It’s also grammatically the difference between a title and a heading. Titles should be capitalized. Headings should not. Get in this argument at work all the time. 😅
