https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=43132 Bug ID: 43132 Summary: Whitespace remov Initiative type: --- Sponsorship --- status: Product: Koha Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Cataloging Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: infoscienceaddict@gmail.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: m.de.rooy@rijksmuseum.nl Target Milestone: --- While cataloging (either in bibliographic or authority records), a common mistake is the addition of extra whitespace characters at the begining or end of fields and/or subfields. This has a huge impact, especially in report results exported as csv, as the values of fields are shifted to the next column whenever a whitespace character is to be found at the beginning or the end of the field/subfield. It would be great if all whitespace characters where to be removed from free text fields (not from Control Fields). In order to make it a universal feature (in case some users need these whitespace characters), a yes/no warning message for whitespace character deletion may be a better feature? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
