How to I make WF insert a term in lower case if the target term is in lower case in the glossary, even though the source term is upper case?

Indeed - that's a very simple solution! I was looking all over the place in Setup and Pandora's Box - thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

Capitalization can also be set individually for both each source and target term.
In my experience, that is usually not necessary when using the Entire glossary setting, but may be useful in specific cases, such as when an all-UC target term matches an all-LC source.
