Is DHIS2 trimming leading and trailing spaces in attributes and dataelements

We are observing dhis2 automatically trim leading and trailing spaces in tracker attributes and data elements. is this a documented feature? Couldn’t find any feature on the documentation.

Hi @jthomas

I think so yes, please read the comment by @George_McGuire here: Jira

“blank spaces only ever appear on the screen during the entry but are trimmed before that text string is saved in the DHIS2 database”
