How can we remove extra spaces if added in rich text editor. We use a form layout and have this component. Even if no value is added by default it gets saved as "<div> </div>". If a user in UI just presses the space bar and enter and then space bars then also it is getting saved. We want to save the value only when there is a valid text value. We save it in rule input which is of type "text". Appian Version used in 21.1

Hi Jed Fonner Do we have this fixed in new version?
The maxSize is to validate the length of text you actually store in the database, due to your database column limitation. If your DB column is VARCHAR(100), you can only store 100 characters, including HTML tags.
The reason for progress bar was to avoid confusion since the actual character count is always larger than the number of visible characters due to HTML tags.
If you want to validate to 100 non-HTML characters, just hide the progress bar and use striphtml() to calculate how many visible characters are in the field. However, keep in mind that what's written to the database is generally much larger than the number of visible characters, so we'd always recommend setting maxSize = the size of your DB column, to avoid errors in the write to DB.
Are we able to change process bar percentage, wanted to show exact number of char inputted, instead of including html tags?
For instance: Set maxSIze:100, inputted one alphabet char('a'), progress bar showing 12%, expected output is 1%.
Can someone help me in this?
is this issue resolved chitra?
