BUG: Small Caps not applied correctly to Variable Text with World-ready Composer
Using Adobe Indesign 19.3 on MacOS 14.4, Apple M1.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Make new document.
2. Define a text variable "Test" with custom text "Handgloves".
3. Insert variable in text frame.
4. Set the composer for that paragraph to "World-ready..."
5. Set the paragraph in Small Caps
6. Try different fonts.
Expected result: small caps.
Actual Result: only first two characters are changed to small caps. Typing characters after the variable placeholder changes how many characters are changed to small caps. See attached video.
Workaround is to change the paragraph to a non World-ready composer.
Note: may be related to this bug.

Between this issue, the problem with numbers in variables (footnote calls included) shifting to old style (depending on the font), and now finding random Hebrew vowels dropping out in our pdf exports, we are considering having to downgrade ID in order to produce something good enough to print. ID 19.5 added yet another bug (wrong indent if tab and ligature present on same line) causing us to already avoid that update.

I've encountered this as well. When I open an older file that uses World-Ready Composer in 19.2 and 19.3, do a force recompose, the page markers change with all caps applied. There's no way to fix it unless you change the composer.
