[SOLVED] How to use the :trimmed function?

[darren.james7518]

How can I prevent the from accidentally adding a space after the first name when completing a form?

I think the :trimmed function may be the answer but not sure how to use it for my use case?

Hi there, @darren.james7518… if I understand your question correctly, you can add the :trimmed operator to the end of the expression when you are saving the field in the workflow. So, something like this…

Make sense? Hope this helps.

Best…

You could just try find and replace instead to find a space and replace it with nothing OR use regex to remove blank spaces?

I wasn’t sure what you meant regards regex but since :trimmed did the job all is ok now. Thanks for suggestion though.
