Power Automate whitespace issue

Posted on by KC-13012254-0 2
Good morning,
 
There seems to be a Whitespace issue where they are added to values that come from MS forms. I've provided a link with more information (a past ticket I've created). Is there anything that can be done to fix the issue?
 
 
Thanks in advance.

    You can use the trim() expression on the responses. It removes excess white space: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/minit/string-operations#trimstring. I have not experienced the issue described in the link when using the trim() expression. 
     
    You may want to submit this to Power Automate Ideas · Community instead as these forums will not get this resolved if there really is an issue with trim(). You could also report a bug as outlined in FAQs - Report an issue and submission guidelines.
