CLS formatting - all uppercase letters for author names in journal reference style?

Hello,

I have a question about CLS formatting for a reference style. One journal requires all author names in the format:

CAMPBELL JL

That means first names are indicated by initials without a space in between multiple first names and the last names are supposed to be all uppercase letters.

Is "Small caps" the only option in CLS to achieve this (which is not exactly what the journal wants but I guess close enough) or are there any other options for this?

text-case="uppercase"

Thank you. I assumed it was not possible because the Visual CLS Editor (https://editor.citationstyles.org/visualEditor/) only shows this here under "Macro: author - Group - Names - Name":

You can only set text-case on the most atomic level of a string, so for names that's "name-part" -- in the visual editor that's a subnode of 'name'

Could you please point me to where I would find that subnode "name-part" of 'name" in the Visual Editor? I cannot see it.
