Hi All, I'm working to create GeoPackage file and when I create OGCGEOPACKAGE writer, all the user attributes are in lowercase and I can’t change them to become uppercase. is it because of the OGC standards change?

What version do you use? I tried to reproduce this in 2024.2 and 2023.2 but could not. When looking in the Changelog I found:
Fixed
Geopackage Writer: write attribute names as lowercase
2024.1
Build 24600

Yes, this was fixed in later FME versions and similar thread last year. It seemed to have been a misinterpretation by Safe of the OGC Geopackage standard. It recommends, but does not require, field names be created in lower case format.
The lower case recommendation in the Geopackage standard came from OGC thinking that this was the most reliable way to stop downstream GIS applications from breaking/behaving abnormally when connected to a Geopackage SQLite-based database. But it isn’t a limitation of the Geopackage format itself, nor the Geopackage standard.
Similarly, user raising same issue last year confirmed fixed from memory in latest FME version (I just can’t seem to find the thread 😕 )
